If COVID 19 didn't kill it, the hardline stance on kneeling would have killed it by now.

it was doing ok, but they were losing viewers each week even before the shutdowns.

I was really tempted to buy a set of the team branded footballs, but they were out when i checked. I'm really glad in hindsight that I missed them. until they become huge collectors items, of course.

No kneeling, no politics, no statements, and no criminals.

Yep. I wish it had been able to thrive. It would be interesting to have 2 leagues in competition with each other. Competition always improves things

nah, it would do well at first but eventually the quality of bad football from the lack of talent will put people off of it.

yeah, they were never going to be competition. it was a minor, off-season league. they even had rules in place for the NFL to raid their talent.

most of those players who would have been plucked would be on try out deals and would most likely be cut during pre-season. xfl teams prolly can't even beat cfl teams.

i was a little off on that. they had yearly contracts so they could go the the NFL between seasons, but not before the end of the XFL season.

nfl is a harsh league.
no guaranteed contracts and a lot of new players that come in from college barely even last training camp. plus there's no developmental leagues like the other major sports have where they can send talent not ready for the big leagues.

it sucks for the xfl players who had another league to play in because a lot of them would never see nfl games. a lot of them are prolly like cfl players where they have second jobs.

The key word is you think. Vince doesn't do that. He was slurping when he tried again

COVID did them a favor. Allowed them to just kill the pipe dream early instead of dragging on a venture destined to fail.
