Charles Francis Copley (September 1, 1887 - May 29, 1944) was a professional football player who played for the Akron Pros and the Milwaukee Badgers of the National Football League.

Career

He was also a former teammate of Fritz Pollard during his time with the Pros and the Badgers. In 1923 Charles became the coach of the Gilberton Cadamounts. This caused Copley to recruit Pollard to play for Gilberton, making Pollard the first African-American to play football in Pennsylvania's coal region.[2] In 1917, Copley played alongside Bob Nash for the Massillon Tigers. The Tigers played in the "Ohio League", which was the direct predecessor to the NFL.[3]

gollark: I did want to have a web UI for controlling the bot, and this should integrate okay with that.

gollark: Perhaps.

gollark: That COULD be somewhat inefficient.
