Which reason would you rather go down for, a billionaire pulling their funding to steal your mobile app or a global pandemic?

It’s funny seeing Vince fail.

This league was going down with or without the pandemic, the ratings and attendance made it very obvious that it was a non-starter.

How many businessmen need to set their money on fire before they realize that the "demand" for spring football just ins't there?

Vince was gonna fund it at a loss for at least another year though.

So what I'm taking from this is that the XFL was going to go the way of the AAF if there hadn't been a pandemic.

I thought the whole thing was Vince had fully funded this thing for the season?

It's bankrupt, Austin! It was undercapitalized all along!

I just assume he’s running a scam on the system now to save some money.

What are the odds that Vince is glad that the Pandemic gave him an excuse to bail out of the league and save him money in the long term?

As long as they keep Donald Trump away, maybe they'll have a chance!

Actually I think they should approach him and get him involved in all the day to day business to keep him very busy.

Obviously he’d be a complete disaster and “work” 15 minutes a day max but you could get him ranting about the current state of uppity players ruining the NFL for a good 8 straight hours a day.

The CFL has real fans and a real history, it would frankly be a spit in the face of those fans to merge with a joke league.

just need the AAF or whatever the gently caress to come back and we can get a proper pro/rel setup in this country

There was never gonna be relegation but one of the biggest selling points of the AAF was how since they were directly associated with the NFL they wouldn’t be like all the other foolish failed spring leagues and had legit financial and institutional backing but lmao turns out it was basically all a scam.
