Hmm sounds like I'll pass but I'll maybe watch a game or two. No offense huh. Need to bring back hehateme from original xfl league. He is probably too old now though. The league will probably fold again like first one after a year or two.
There was actually a decent spring league USFL in USA during the 80s that even got some high profile players from college that after the league folded wound up in the NFL. Apparently Trump ruined the league trying to get it merge with the NFL. He got the league to switch it to fall to I guess compete directly with NFL but that move proved to be a disaster. In his quest for an attempt to become an owner of NFL team by having his USFL team become a NFL team it brought down the entire league. Just one of his many failures.

The USFL first two seasons where actually pretty good but in the third season attendance dropped dramatically and ended up loosing 163 million during its existence.

Yea it went good first two seasons because they were on spring schedule. Trump pushed them to go to fall to challenge NFL. Dumbest move and it killed league.
The USFL had good players. Better than XFL. They got top recruits from college back then and when league collapsed many of those player became stars in NFL. That league was set up for success it only took one dumb idea to kill it.
