Jesus christ why would you ever play in a lovely football league instead of going to your mom's funeral.


Jesus christ why would you bring that up during the broadcast

His MOM'S funeral, not his grandma. That's not inspiring, that's really really sad. What do you wanna bet that they weren't gonna pay him for the game if he went to the funeral?

They probably wouldn't have. From what I remember reading, the pay structure is like $1k per week for being on the team, $1.5k for playing, and then another $2k for winning.

Yeah Vince is paying these guys far less than the AAF's standard $250k/3 year contract.

e: here's the exact numbers - https://heavy.com/sports/2020/02/xfl-salary-players-salaries-contract-money-paid/

At the very least Vince is more likely to actually pay out the money these players are contracted for.

I really hope they don't try to force this into the XFL version of Packers @ Raiders on Monday night after Brett Favre's dad died.

It's going to be great when we have a heated game and a player who's feeling salty just starts going off.
