About Harry Wismer

Harry Wismer was an American sports broadcaster and the founder of the Titans of New York franchise in the American Football League (AFL). His first game for the Redskins was a most inauspicious one in December 1940, their 73–0 loss to the Chicago Bears' great "Monsters of the Midway" team in the 1940 championship game. When Werblin sold his share of the team in May 1968, the franchise value had gone from $1 million to $15 million in those five years.
