Football After Superbowl! New XFL: Exciting Football League, If POTUS Stays OUT...
Now, you don't have to stop watching Pro Football after the Superbowl. An exciting new Pro Football league has started up called the XFL. It has 8 teams and the schedule runs through the end of April.
XFL
There have been other Pro Football startups designed to pick up where the NFL leaves off. All have failed for various reasons, including one that was wrecked by you-know-who. Will this league finally solve all the problems and gain a foothold? One of the previous startups was called the USFL. Guess who bought one of the teams, and guess who was blamed for the demise of the entire league?
"Trump is widely blamed for the demise of the USFL
Soon after Trump bought the Generals after the USFL's inaugural season, which was played in the spring of 1983, he started pushing his fellow owners to move the league's games to the fall and go head-to-head with the NFL. "If God wanted football in the spring," Trump once said, "he wouldn't have created baseball." After the league's third season, the owners agreed to move to a fall schedule in 1986.
"I think it was a big mistake," said Dr. Ted Diethrich, one of the league's original owners. "When that decision was made, the course for this was charted, and it was going to be a wreck."
Several teams were having financial difficulties at the time, and the league lacked the fall TV contracts that supported the NFL. The USFL instead tried to take on the NFL in the courts by filing an antitrust lawsuit. The hope was that the USFL would either merge with the established league or win a sizable settlement. The merger never happened, and despite winning the lawsuit, the USFL was ultimately awarded only $3 for its troubles. The league soon folded, and Trump's push for the fall schedule and a lawsuit against the NFL is generally cited as the main reason."

I became an NFL fan after dear leader told us to boycott the NFL.
It seems like it is all over too quick. I missed football after the Superbowl.
I'm glad to see a new league spring up.
And I like the rule changes.

NO KNEELING. Great rule!
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

That was some darn good football last weekend.
I am enjoying this new league.
I hope Potus stays out of it so it can become a success.
The worst thing about the Superbowl is knowing that is the end of football until the fall.

Why weren't you a fan before? Is the attraction the politics of contemptuous displays toward America? If so, you should become an NBA fan, after LeBron defended the Chinese CP from the Houston Rockets GM.

DT has had so many bad business ideas. Lost so much money.
Too bad he had to kill the USFL.
Look how long it took to get another attempt at spring football going.
Hopefully he won't have anything to do with this one.
XFL players have to sign an agreement in the beginning about no political protests.
Wouldn't want anybody spreading it around how they feel about the football team owner that screwed everything up for a lot of people. Nor talking about what he's been up to lately.

Hello M. V. Mason,
Definitely professional level football.
The only reason the play may seem less amazing is that we just watched the best of the best in the Superbowl. Anything else is going to look like lessor teams.
In the XFL, Houston is unbeaten. There has been some extraordinary play.
Who doesn't give up Constitutional rights to get a job?
Try making a kneeling protest while serving in the military.
Try bringing your gun to work in the courtroom.
Try exercising your right to free speech by taking a political stand in class as a teacher.
Try exercising your right to be free of a search of your bodily fluids and getting a job where a drug test is required.
You can hardly work anywhere without giving up your Constitutional rights.

Actually really woke people boycott the NFL over the league being racist and black balling Kaepernick.
There have been multiple football leagues in between the USFL and the current edition of the XFL including the AFL and a previous version of the XFL.
