It feels like a lot of XFL players get tossed for punching people.

Seriously though, is it just me or can no one in the XFL tackle anyone?

My understanding is attendance is a mixed bag. Its on decline from early numbers in most cities but really skyrocketing in Seattle and St Louis. Ratings seem to be on a steady decline and that seems troublesome considering serious sports competition will kick off next weekend. I don't know about merchandising but that seems like a tough read since its a private company so it can mess with numbers but it seems like you'd need to be growing your fanbase to really capitalize there.

I'd be curious to see real numbers on money but I doubt we'll ever see that. I'm curious if this thing can come close to breaking even to justify its existence, and its power as a sports rating draw seems like its going to be tested hard starting next week as this week is probably the last in the sports cold zone between the NFL and everyone else getting going or into their playoff pictures.
