Not every college player goes to the NFL, obviously. The XFL was a good outlet to keep up with ex-NFL players, top draft picks that never reached their potential in the NFL, and college role players that never made it in the NFL.

So yes, I am serious.
In that case, fuck off.

My sunday league team is competitive. Doesn't mean we should be on national TV playing. There was a reason these players didn't make it to the NFL. The majority of them weren't good enough. Simple as that. This league immediately becomes sub par because of it.

People dismissed it because it was garbage. The standard of the sport was sub par. The gimmicks didn't click. Vince McMahon wanted another form of sports entertainment. People who watch American Football want sport. If they gave it a chance? They did give it a chance. When something is shit, you don't support it for the sake of it. And the league was finished because NBC finished it. They didn't wanna air it because it was a massive failure. Not even arguable.
