Colin Kaepernick's anthem protests have so enraged WWE chairman Vince McMahon, that McMahon is bringing back the XFL. Not joking.

The new xfl is going to work. Helmet to helmet hits, no kneeling, a team of troops, a Trump endorsement, teams in San Diego/St Louis/Oakland, jobs for Tebow and Manziel. Brace yourselves for the death of the NFL

Probably none. The salaries and benefits in the 2001 XFL were poo poo compared to NFL base, and I can't imagine this new league being much better. XFLers didn't even get health insurance

There are a couple of videos on the rise and fall of the XFL.

There was a 30 for 30 about a year ago that was pretty good, if you can stand the smug doucheness of Bob Costas.

A group of Irish dudes who do video retrospectives on 1980s-Mid 2000s pro wrestling who did a video on the XFL through the eyes of pro wrestling fans who don't follow football.

There were some cool things, constantly mic'd coaches and quarterbacks was nice.

But mostly it was worse than college football and less exciting with dumb wrestling bullshit tacked on like promos and heel announcers and poo poo like that.

Didn't the XFL determine possession by having two guys race to grab the football at midfield? Like at the beginning of a dodgeball match.

Of all the things the NFL adopted from the carcass of the XFL, this should have been one of them.

Imagine an unconscious Tom Brady being ruled out for the season because he dove trying to beat Alex Smith to the ball.

Top college talent are probably playing bette teams and getting more in benefits than an xfl player

They absolutely should go after every player kicked out of school though. They can either get a paycheck or go to Jacksonville state.
