Was anyone actually dumb enough to think this would work (outside of that idiot McMahon)?
What McMahon doesn't get is there is a reason nobody shows up for Ivy League, NAIA, SWAC, MEAC football, it's....small time. People wanna see Alabama, LSU, Texas, USC.
Pro football is about star players and loyalty to your city, state. It's never been about just watching a game.

For all the geniuses reveling in the Xfl failure it in no way could have survived this pandemic , no revenue from crowds, sponsors and TV deals would kill most leagues or business models.
Bankruptcy is purely a cost saving exercise at this point I would have thought. [Reply]
