XFL suspends operations due to Coronavirus EDIT: Declares bankruptcy (2020-2020)

[Spence]

I don't wanna hear about any other leagues coming out unless it's run and funded by the NFL. That's it. Players stay getting screwed.

All the High school players that needed to get money for their families and skip slavery in the ncaa

the one CB who made an xfl squad because he wasn’t academically eligible from poor grades and had to drop out to get $$ but was playing well enough to get on an nfl practice squad roster then make the come up in 2 season

all those CFL players that quit to come back home to ply and avoid paying taxes on their earnings in two diff countries

Wow.. that's terrible. The XFL has had the worst of luck

Now maybe Vince can focus on the one thing that actually made him successful.

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

when does he actually tell the truth?

I admittedly don’t know anything about business shares and all that, but for this to have been kept secret sounds hella illegal

This muthafukka gonna be a future US President if he can keep on tickin.

You can't be a minor league and try to go primetime. It cost tooo much in logistics, staff, venues and etc.

NFL grew over 80 years on the broken backs of players when players had 2nd jobs and inflation didn't fukk up NFL before they where already on the grandstage and already accumulated a bunch of wealth.

I wonder if I can still buy a hoodie off the website

My girl is high up in the WNBA, we were talking about the significance of the 25 year mark for them next year, and it’s not off the table. The league has accepted people want a WNBA to exist but don’t want to support a WNBA, and that’s not realistic, especially after the year the NBA is having this year.

They could start by making a fukking Roku app so that you can watch their games on TV.

Bought their League Pass last year, and you can only watch the shyt on their phone//tablet app...

Was never gonna work but the virus ensured a bigger disaster. Time to just admit that the American thirst for football revolves around three pillars that can't be replaced: high school (local games, recruiting, etc), college, and the NFL. Nothing else matters or will matter.

Spring football just isn’t meant to be a thing I thought the XFL was decent and had a chance the ratings was decent every game but one had over million viewers and attendance was ok I think in 2022 someone will try it one more time and it will fail again unless the nfl decide to make a league

Idk why nikkas are in this thread saying a spring football league will never be successful when we just had the XFL which was successful for a brief period.

If not for a gotdamn global disaster which shut down EVERYTHING the XFL appeared to be on it's way. Some shyt is just out of your control but there was clearly a market for it

high school (local games, recruiting, etc), college, and the NFL. Nothing else matters or will matter.

Yep. This xfl was the last absolute chance at an alternative league or even a feeder league.

That's kinda sad bc some of those dudes will get a 2nd chance at the NFL now, but future players won't have that option
