 XFL coming back?
Vince McMahon sold $100 million worth of WWE stock today to fund Alpha Entertainment, which Darren Rovell said was, in part, to fund a pro football venture.
Alpha Entertainment filed for 5 trademarks last week to the "XFL."
Hmmm

 Re: XFL coming back?
Can’t be to surprised the NFL has had several parks with more empty seats than occupied ones.
When we played Atlanta I saw a lot of empty seats.
Last I saw an article ratings were dropping by double digits in some cases the drop was over twenty percent in the last two years.
You have companies dropping ads
If this continues your going to see major issues and pay cuts.

 Re: XFL coming back?
I went to an XFL game. The game itself is pretty regular, other than the way they do the "coin toss" which is pretty awesome. But the fans are nuts. Drunks everywhere, girls flashing, it was like Mardi Gras in a stadium. Oh, and the players being able to put whatever name on their jersey. I remember a RB had "He Hate Me" on his jersey.
