I think it's a matter of taste.
I always like simmed history; it allows the whole "chasing Marris" effect from the beginning by providing context for the achievements of my players/team. Plus, depending on your appetite for immersion, a from-scratch startup in the 1980s might feel odd. Maybe it's plausible as a successful USFL-type-thing, though, I dunno...

That said, I see your point about the history being forged by the people in the league.

I suppose it boils down to whether you want to feel like you're part of something or feel like you're making something.
