Football is the most popular sport in Pennsylvania, especially in the Lehigh Valley, Northeastern Pennsylvania,8️⃣ Central Pennsylvania, and Western Pennsylvania.
Western Pennsylvania in particular was home to some of the earliest moments in football history, and8️⃣ the earliest professional clubs played in the Western Pennsylvania Professional Football Circuit.
Pudge Heffelfinger was the first known professional football player,8️⃣ while John Brallier was the first openly professional player.
The Allegheny Athletic Association fielded the first entirely openly professional team in8️⃣ 1896.
[1] In 1902, three Pennsylvania teams founded the National Football League (which has no ties to today's NFL), the first8️⃣ attempt at a national professional football league.
Jim Thorpe, a multi-sport athlete who played in the NFL and won Olympic gold8️⃣ medals in the pentathlon and decathlon, attended Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania is named after him.
Today,8️⃣ football is popular on all levels, from high school, college, and professionally.
The high school games get regular attention in the8️⃣ local newspapers and games regularly draw over 10,000 fans.
Pennsylvania produces several college and professional players every year, and Western Pennsylvania8️⃣ is noted for being the home of numerous quarterbacks, including Dan Marino, Joe Montana, and Johnny Unitas.
Professionally, the Pittsburgh Steelers8️⃣ and Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL are also hugely popular.
Both franchises entered the NFL in 1933, and the two franchises8️⃣ briefly merged during World War II.
Both teams have fan bases across the entire state, and in the case of the8️⃣ Steelers, are one of the most popular sports teams in the United States, if not the world.
(This is likely due8️⃣ to that team's dominance in the NFL during the 1970s.
) While the Eagles are not quite as popular as the8️⃣ Steelers outside Pennsylvania, they still maintain a passionate fan base in the Philadelphia area and across the United States as8️⃣ they are one of the more popular teams in the NFL.
Often one of the most rowdy in the NFL, the8️⃣ Eagles fanbase is known for their passion and dedication.
In fact, the Eagles' old home field, Veterans Stadium, was the first8️⃣ sports stadium in the United States to have a jail cell as a result of the rowdiness of the fans,8️⃣ but was removed only a couple years later after incidents settled down.
Both fanbases though are considered to be among the8️⃣ best traveled fanbases in the NFL.
During games in which the teams are on the road, Steelers fans and Eagles fans8️⃣ alike migrate to the opposing team's stadium and always have a strong presence, and in some cases, their numbers have8️⃣ made opposing teams feel as if they are not in their home stadium-a testament to the die-hard fanbases of professional8️⃣ football in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania has also been home to two defunct NFL franchises, both of which played in the 1920s.
The Pottsville8️⃣ Maroons played in Pottsville, Pennsylvania; the franchise is notable for its part in the 1925 NFL Championship controversy.

Although the Pirates have won more World Series (five8️⃣ in total), the Phillies won the World Series more recently (in 2008).

Poker [ edit ]
Texas8️⃣ Hold 'em Poker [ edit ]
Texas hold'em poker was found in 2009 not to be gambling under the Pennsylvania Crimes8️⃣ Code by Judge Thomas A.James Jr.
in the case of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania vs Walter Watkins.[18]
The case involved a $1/$2 table8️⃣ stakes Texas Hold 'em Poker game with a dealer making tips.
The organizers were charged with 20 counts of violating Section8️⃣ 5513 sections (a)(2), (a)(3), and (a)(4), related to "unlawful gambling", and had materials related to the games confiscated by police8️⃣ as "gambling devices".
[18] Section 5513 of the Pennsylvania Code makes it a misdemeanor of the first degree for a person8️⃣ to invite or allows other people to gather in a place of his control for the purpose of "unlawful gambling".
In8️⃣ his decision, Judge Thomas A.James Jr.
stated, "[T]here are three elements of gambling: consideration, chance and reward.
" The judge found through8️⃣ a four pronged test that skill predominates over chance, and that Texas Hold' em is a game of skill, therefore8️⃣ not gambling.[18]
Specifically, the decision states:
The court finds that Texas Hold 'em poker is a game where skill predominates over chance.
Thus,8️⃣ it is not "unlawful gambling' under the Pennsylvania Crimes Code.
Section 5512(d), which provides definitions, states:
As used in this section the8️⃣ term "unlawful" means not specifically authorized by law.
Section 5513 states: (emphasis added)§ 5513.
Gambling devices, gambling, etc.
(a) Offense defined.
--A person is8️⃣ guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree if he: (1) intentionally or knowingly makes, assembles, sets up, maintains, sells,8️⃣ lends, leases, gives away, or offers for sale, loan, lease or gift, any punch board, drawing card, slot machine or8️⃣ any device to be used for gambling purposes, except playing cards; (2) allows persons to collect and assemble for the8️⃣ purpose of unlawful gambling at any place under his control; (3) solicits or invites any person to visit any unlawful8️⃣ gambling place for the purpose of gambling; or (4) being the owner, tenant, lessee or occupant of any premises, knowingly8️⃣ permits or suffers the same, or any part thereof, to be used for the purpose of unlawful gambling.
Other Poker games8️⃣ [ edit ]
