Rozelle

Rozelle

Alwin Jay „Pete“ Rozelle (* 1. März 1926 in South Gate, Kalifornien; † 6. Dezember 1996 in Rancho Santa Fe, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer einflussreicher Sport-Funktionär.

Rozelle übernahm 1960 das Amt des Commissioners der National Football League (NFL), der Profiliga im American Football. Dank seiner geschickten Geschäftsführung entwickelte sich Football zur mit Abstand beliebtesten Sportart in den USA. Rozelle erkannte früh die Wichtigkeit der Fernsehvermarktung, trieb die Fusion mit der konkurrierenden AFL voran und erfand den Super Bowl, das größte Einzelsport-Ereignis der Welt.
