BUT...he once again won't be able to help but make it overdramatized and fictional like wrestling.

I think he learned most people don't like that gayboy wrestlint shit..This could work, the last time I stopped as soon as I saw a " hehateme" jersey.

You're right. His hundreds of million dollar corporation isn't liked by most people.

I didn't say that there weren't clowns out there who watch that shit..It's a small %. He wants to get NFL money and numbers.

No he doesn't. That sounds silly. It takes about a century to pull that off.

If it's done right it's a huge money maker and nowhere near a century..under a decade.

I totally agree there is potential here for a new league. The NFL has been trying it's hardest to ruin the league. Problem is....Vince has to be Vince....there's no way he'll be able to resist the temptation to make this another form of wrestling.

I totally agree there is potential here for a new league.

Has there really been an upstart league besides the USFL and the one year of the XFL? The USFL was moderately successful until, ironically, Donald Trump screwed it up. The XFL1 made mistakes that this other one is avoiding.

People still love football. A league that is watchable would do well filling the void from the weekend before the Super Bowl to the start of March Madness.

I was thinking of the UFL, the FXFL, that league that was supposed to have all players pass-eligible, and you may as well count the arena league these days too.

This is part of a bigger picture. They're TV deal is up after 2018 and rumor is FOX has expressed interest in them, and even made an offer to buy the WWE. Bet part of a deal to sell in 2019 will include FOX being their TV partner for the XFL in 2020. Vince knows the end is near and he is desperate to leave a legacy that isn't only wrestling.

Meaning the XFL of 2020 will suck.

Does anyone NOT believe this will fall right on its face again?

If anything, it'll do worse. The first XFL actually got decent ratings for a week or two and had support from the television partners.

Maybe if they play in a Speedo only and grease themselves up they can get the bicurious crowd that digs pro wrestling.

What might work, is to say "This football league will not lie to players or it's fans. If players decide to play in this league, they will do so understanding there are risks. Concussions may well happen, as we will allow football to be football again. Players will get creamed and while we will remove injured players from the game, we will not turn the game into touch football or flag football, as the NFL seems headed for. Just like with MMA, the sport will feature spectacular violence for all to enjoy. That could work.

spectacular violence for all to enjoy. That could work.

Thought process being that adding football will increase offers, especially from FOX.

Even HUGE pro gaming events do overnight cable numbers in the grand scheme.

The NFL has hurt the game by taking away the toughness and physicality through rule changes, the flags and dog shit officiating, 4 minute replays etc..many people hate tbeir home teams ownership..tberes a market for a new league.

The Arena league actually did ok for a long while. The FXFL was different because it was trying to get a deal with the NFL, but the NFL said no so it was dead.
