XFL's gonna be so XTREME, they won't even KNEEL! (I think Jakyl gets credit for this joke)

When it comes to concussions, Honey Badger gives more of a fuck than the XFL.

The only deflated balls here will be Vince's when the league flops again...oops, I mean go XFL!

Players finally have the freedom to beat women down in the elevator again! #XTREEEEEME

"One day, when I grow up, I want to be just like my dad and play in the XFL for one season before his boss decides Survivor Series PPV is a better draw."

He Hate Me For Sixteen Years Or So...put that on a jersey please.

XFL: because Linda McMahon was a top-five donor to Donald Trump. This swamp is
So.
Fucking.
XTREME YEAH FUCK YEAH

XFL is of course spawned by the same people behind WWE, a group of wrestlers so XTREME themselves that the World Wildlife Fund told them to change their name -- and they did.

You can watch the XFL for free for just $9.99 a month when you buy the WWE package.

And like how the WWE allows you to watch every classic match in their history, you can also watch every classic XFL game.
Such as:
...
...SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM

Goddamn, let this be true. Or not, the world's better off really, but this is worth so many laughs it'll out Patch Adams out of a job.

Vince McMahon's been jerking it to this idea behind closed doors for so long that Louis C.K.'s pointing fingers at him like "That's too far ya creep."

something something John Cena

AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE BECAUSE -- just kidding this barrel of mockery has no bottom.

This idea's been looking dead to the public so long, even the Undertaker's like "come on, just stay retired."

Or maybe they're just trying to make another sport for Brock Lesnar to dominate.

The Dallas DDTs VS the Wisconsin Brock Lesnar.

I'm betting on Wisconsin.

(In case I haven't driven the point home yet: this should be fun.)

Two things.

1. Could the league have complete presidential support if Vince promises every player who kneels during the national anthem will be kicked off the team? Absolutely. But considering how having the complete support of this particular President is a kiss of death, well...

2. The NFL has lots of long term problems, admittedly. They have everything to do with injuries, concussions, excessive commercials, excessive instant replays, and the experience of watching at home being so much better than seeing games in person. They have zero to do with kneeling players. I don't see how the XFL alternative league solves any of the actual problems (unless they ban instant replay, which might be a nice PR stunt but would ultimately backfire on them).

All that being said, if he was smart enough to keep it limited to a short season during college/NFL downtime, small amount of teams, push online streaming, and make all the content available live or through replay on the WWE Network... I could see it finding an audience.

I actually think this may work. MUCH better timing. Before it was "people love the NFL so let's give them something not quite the NFL but close" Now it's "people love football but hate the NFL so let's give them some non-NFL football"

This can work so long as he keeps it as far away from ESPN and the left-wing sports-media complex as possible. Hire your own "journalists" and keep it all in-house.
