It sounds like someone felt they really needed to list 3 reasons to sound credible but could come up with at most like 1.5. “And uh, I totally saw him text his wife that one time! Yeah! Got you, fucker”

They could have moved the whole league to Alabama which I believe has not had any restrictions what so ever this whole time.

They actually were really slow to suspend games compared to the bigger leagues. But yeah, its so obvious that the pandemic provided them the excuse to just bail on it instead of saying "season suspended, we'll see what happens next year".

Callaway's "legal troubles" btwquote:On Sunday, August 5, 2018, Callaway was issued a citation in Strongsville, Ohio for possession of marijuana and driving with a suspended license during a traffic stop at 3am.[32] The drug charges were dropped, and Callaway paid $911 for the license violation.[33]

Chris James 2 posted:Callaway's "legal troubles" btw he had uh, some other legal issues too quote:In January 2016, Callaway and quarterback Treon Harris were suspended from the team. Florida head coach Jim McElwain said the suspensions were related to "schoolwork."[9] It was later revealed that the suspensions were related to an accusation of sexual assault. A woman accused Callaway of sexual assault and Harris of attempted sexual assault in December 2015. The woman reported the alleged incident to Florida's student conduct and conflict resolution office, but did not report the incident to either Gainesville police or University of Florida police. The University of Florida suspended both players for violating the school's code of conduct policy. Both players remained suspended until June, when they returned to campus to take classes and work out at the school's facilities.[10] Callaway was found not responsible of sexually assaulting the female student by an independent hearing officer in a Title IX hearing. The ruling was made by attorney Jake Schickel, a former track and field athlete at Florida who has donated money to Florida's football and basketball programs. Schickel cleared Callaway of three violations of Florida's student conduct code, which included endangering another's health or safety, sexual assault and sexual misconduct, and conduct causing physical injury.[8] On December 7, 2017, while suspended, Callaway made the decision that he was going to enter the 2018 NFL Draft.[11]

I put an "emoticon" or "smiley" here, which is what we used to call emojis. It was something of an accident and since I don't have anything to add to the conversation in its place, I thought I would explain why this message is here now. And finally I want to say Vince mcmahon is a bad guy.

Yeah, I don't know how credible "XFL insider Mike Mitchell" is but even the quote from him that the article is based on is "a bunch of big corporations including Disney inquired into the price but I don't know if they've made an actual bid." So like I can buy that Disney/ESPN kicked the tires out of curiosity and sports content but even if true that could just mean they wanted to see if they could buy it for a song.

Definitely the assets are going to change hands, I think the main question right now is will the calculations show it's more profitable to restart in 2021 or to strip the parts to sell as scrap

I also imagine the SEC would cost SLIGHTLY more money than the XFL if it were for sale. Its like Disney passed a yard sale and was like "How much is that old box? It could maybe be cool to put stuff in or something." And then someone was like "No way, Disney! Don't buy that box, buy this super expensive safe that's way better!" And like, they might have just misgauged Disney's level of interest and need for a box. I'm tired. That's the best tortured metaphor I could come up with. I couldn't figure out what people buy at yard sales.

Crap for their own eventual yard sale, mostly.
