What's different with the ball? Why would they need to "change" it?

If Vince can deliver on his promises this will be my go-to league. Hard hits, no pansy flags, old school style football!

I love that he's bringing back the traditional kickoff. Although the no fair catches policy does seem a little dangerous.

Vince is best buddies with Trump

He's riding on the whole Kapernick thing to build his football league with the "MY PLAYERS STAND FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM DAMMIT!!!" route

Not to mention he's probably getting all sorts of tax breaks from Donald to do this

We need a football league where penalties move the scrimmage line, instead of bullshit calls either killing or resurrecting a drive.

This is a great idea tbh.

But you have to be careful though. Teams will just use penalties strategically and it will still be BS, like the NHL.

All it would do is shift the field toward one of the end lines.
It's still up to the offense to get ten years, instead of being pushed back into untenable hell or getting "lucky" when the defense screws up.

I mean, there are good penalties and bad penalties. Hacking a guy in the hands as he's about to shoot at a mostly open net is good. Tripping a guy while forechecking is not. It's not BS that things like that happen, though, that part is dumb. That guy is probably some salty Boston fan with a complex who thinks sports leagues are out to get Boston teams.

Oh, and the XFL is gonna be shit. The AAF was very hit or miss in game quality, but it at least appeared to pay guys for playing, although that exploded and the douchebags in charge fucked over a lot of guys. The XFL isn't even pretending that, paying guys like grocery store shelf stockers. The best guys who would have been in the XFL either already were in the AAF and are on NFL rosters or practice squads, or told the XFL to fuck off for paying them like teenage fast food workers. This leaves the XFL as basically the 4th tier of pro football, after the NFL, the CFL, and the AAF, and that's not counting NCAA which is also better. It's barely even worth watching as a curiosity, especially now that Rugby is much easier to see in America, and actually features top tier athletes.

AAF probably died because only the first week was on broadcast TV.
XFL may have the same fate.

I don't think you guys understand the sheer quantity of cash Vince has, or the amount of shit he is able to put his performers through and still have them collect a check. This man has run a circus on cable television for over 30 years.

Ruining a great offensive chance by taking a penalty and trying their luck on the PK.

You've never heard "that was a great penalty" when watching a hockey game?

3rd and 10, receiver has a great chance at a catch so the defender just knocks him down and tries again the next play.

But what if the penalty takes place on the offensive team's 30?

Another scenario is a defensive player has an easy path to the QB on 3rd down, so instead of taking the sack the O lineman just grabs a hold of him and the team maybe loses a few more yards but the has a 3rd down instead of 4th down.

move the line, replay the down.

The point is those are strategic penalties to take, which is still BS and hurts the game.

Just discipline refs more for bad calls. Although implementing your idea for something like a false start or offsides would be great.

Even when it's good calls, it's better to be 1st & 10 on your own 5, than 1st and 30 on your own 20 after two holding penalties.
