am I the only who thinks complete opposite ?
I actually enjoyed the brief time of XFL, but it feels to me like this only couldve been done in late 90s/early 2000s
today,
1)networks try to take the least amount of risk as possible. this shyt was a extremely risky (and rightfully so) venture
2)feminists would stir shyt up
3)CTE stuff would stir shyt up
4)there would be large money disputes over everything and NFL somehow wouldve wanted a cut. NFL was less intrusive back in the day
5)lawsuits. lawsuits everywhere as a result
6)vince mcmahon today is viewed as a complete joke. back then he was at least viewed as a really entertaining joke. WWF was pulling much bigger numbers back then and everyone was talking about it. not so much nowadays.
like, Im thinking a venture like XFL wouldnt even be entertained nowadays and die at the pitch phase because investors would laugh their ass off and invest in something less risky
Yeah, you're right, between feminists and SJW liberals, it would've been hard to do the cheerleader stuff.
It would've been best to be like Arena football, but with nicknames on the backs of the jerseys and maybe more social media interaction
Trump actually was in the USFL documentary
YOOOOOOOO
that's not a bad idea.
I think he should have debuted in 2002 to give them a longer time to properly accumulate better on field talent and do behind the scenes/untelevised test games sort to speak.
I do wish there was an American alternative to the NFL that's played in the spring/summer time for players who's trying to get into the NFL or a legitimate minor League kind of thing but that'll lead to more injuries for the minor league players.
Now THIS was the biggest issue.
They shouldn't have rushed it. No football would look good with only 30 days of preparation.
Hell, watch preseason NFL and you'll see how terrible it looks.

at the arrogance of Costas suggesting that Vince would be better off "taking a page from his book". Vince runs a billion dollar company and basically owns wrestling worldwide. Costas is only popular with old cac sportswriters who hate seeing black people celebrating touchdowns and old cac baseball fans who still keep score by pen and paper.
