The Cincinnati Bengals played their first professional season in 1968. The franchise has been in existence for more than 50 years. Over the course of 50-plus seasons, only one Bengals player (Anthony Muñoz) has been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A plethora of Bengals fans think that’s a “travesty.”
In an effort to advocate for more representation in the Hall of Fame, four Bengals fans are organizing a “Jungle to the Hall” rally on June 19th at 2121 George Halas Drive Northwest in Canton, Ohio. The location is about 20 yards from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
“We got one player in our franchise’s history in the Hall of Fame, and that’s over fifty years. We think that’s a travesty,” event organizer and Bengals fan Jim Foster said to The Enquirer. “The why behind this is simply because we want to be able to recognize our Bengals legends that we feel should be recognized and have their legacies protected in the Hall of Fame.”
