Default Please help the Chiefs' Johnny Robinson

Hey All,

As many of you know, I am an AFL historian. I am now working on a campaign to get former Chiefs safety, Johnny Robinson, inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Johnny is very deserving of the honor, and it is long overdue.

I have placed a petition on my website, and am gathering online signatures from fans who support Johnny Robinson. Rob Borges and Rick Gosselin, two members of the HoF Senior Committee have agreed to take the results of the petition into their next voting session in August. They have challenged me with obtaining as many signatures as possible between now and then.

In addition to being a worthy player, Johnny Robinson has also been a huge friend to our hobby, signing TTM for YEARS. Please take a moment to do something nice for him in return. Click on the link below and sign the petition supporting Johnny Robinson for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. If you are willing, please share the link with others as well. Let's help Johnny get the honor he deserves!

JOHNNY ROBINSON PETITION

Todd, I'm not knowledgeable enough on the 60s, but I thought you may find it interesting that Robinson appears on this list - might be another avenue for you to pursue: http://www.profootballresearchers.co...php?f=8&t=4747

A very worthy cause. As you know I signed it last week and hope he gets in.

I really feel like the old timers group is out of touch with the *real* old timers. Sorry but players that played in the 70s and 80s shouldn't be considered until the handful of deserving players from the 20s-70s get one more look. There are very deserving players that have been completely forgotten about at this point.

Tommy is another very worthy candidate, and sadly, now that he has died, he will probably get in. However, as my efforts and interest are pretty much strictly AFL, I am going to leave that battle to someone else.
