Dudes out here in Green Bay playing in the IFL for the Green Bay Blizzard for table scraps right across the street from Lambeau. They would kill for 55k, I guarantee that every single one of them tries out for the XFL. Only like 1% of players in that league ever get a callup even to the CFL. Plenty of guys want to play and there are limited spots in good leagues.

Ain’t that the truth
This isn’t going to last more than one season if that

If it don’t come with groupies then count me out. Plus if this ain’t 55k take home, nah. Got OJs knees
Does that health ins. lasts a full year, or does it run out when the season is over?
$55K for 6 months playing a game you love, plus damn near 1st class treatment (maybe). A full year a health ins, allows you to get a decent job pay job when the season is over might be worth it.
Besides, this is just yr 1. I think they don't wanna overpay cats for this to be a 1 and done like last time. If yr 1 is profitable enough for a 2nd yr, I can see those salaries get bumped up, especially for the stars.

The AAF was working perfectly but the owner had to be a snake smh
A lot of people aren’t looking at this realistically. If you have serious interests or career opportunities the money obviously isn’t worth it, but that’s only some guys. A lot of football players leave the game without having an education or employable skills, and they end up either back in their neighborhoods doing nothing or working a dead end job that they hate. For those guys this is a godsend. They have a chance to make decent money and improve their chances of making it in the sport.
Only shyt I hit now is blunts good sir.

Developers are the new Rockstars
Yahoo is now part of Verizon Media
Quarterbacks are going to get paid way more initially. If this league somehow lasts more than 3 years I can see the rest of the salaries going up. For what it is worth I am going to be supporting the DC Defenders. I can't support the trash that is the Washington Slurs.
The president of the DC Defenders is a brother.

Exactly. After playing in HS and college for free. Making 55k for a few months playing the game you love with an opportunity to potentially make more in the NFL is great tbh. nikkas spending years getting CTE for free, why not get paid something for it?
To be fair most of these guys have played FOR FREE for at least 8 years pursuing the NFL. At least now they're getting paid to chase it.
