Need to find a way to get this into the hands of Kansas City fans also.

Yes Robin more letters than the Vietnam Nam Wall but a worthy post about a great ex- Chinese Bandit from National Championship Team

Signed.

I remember watching Johnny as a Tiger on the 58 and 59 teams. Great on D. He and Cannon were a great duo as RBs.

Great pro. Deserves the accolades and recognition.

I wrote letters in the 80's and have signed countless petitions put forth by various folks through the years.

This is a god awful injustice to this man. One of the greats and LSU and AFL football.s

You did a good job and I will again sign a petition.

Right halfback Johnny Robinson, "great all-American"!

Thank you all. For the ease of others, here is the petition link again.

https://talesfromtheamericanfootballleague.com/sign-the-petition-and-spread-the-word-johnny-robinson-for-the-pro-football-hall-of-fame/

We are starting to build some steam. DandyDon.com posted the link today on their site, and that helped a lot. I have also been collecting quotes from different people who played with or against Johnny, in addition to quotes from football authors and historians.

Two members of the Hall of Fame senior committee have agreed to present the results of the petition at the upcoming voting meeting in August, so we know for sure that Johnny will be a big topic of conversation. We just need to get as many votes as possible in the next three months. Whatever anyone can do to share the petition would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time, consideration and assistance!
