Do not take away league championship in 1969[edit]

Look at all the proof that Minnesota Vikings were NFL champs that season -

WIKI articles
1969 NFL playoffs
1969 NFL season
1969 Minnesota Vikings season
List of NFL champions (1920–1969)

The Super Bowls were NOT counted as league championships from 1966 - 1969. That is standard throughout Wikipedia NFL articles, If you do not count this one, then you must change every Wiki article listed above, plus several others. If you would like to take this to a higher Wikipedia authority, then lets discuss it with them, but in every other article, Vikings were NFL Champs, and the Chiefs were AFL Champs in 1969 season. The Super Bowls I - IV were the games not counted as league Championships, they were 2 different leagues. The Super Bowls I - IV were the AFL-NFL World Championship Games and not NFL Championships till the 1970 season. Spparky (talk) 18:09, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody disputes they were NFL Champions. Their championship is listed but does not fit the definition of a "league champion." It was more the equivalent of winning an NFC Championship today. 2601:645:4301:C100:D42D:E86B:9FC6:BB24 (talk) 06:37, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
