Dang I loved the Breakers name and uniforms. Was looking forward to seeing how they painted the Superdome field for them.

Interesting that there are no teams west of San Antonio.

Looks like the Breakers, the team with the best uniforms, won't be joining in 2024.


Not surprising, given that no one showed up in New Orleans for Breaker games.

I’ve enjoyed the USFL, but this seems to be a sign that both it and the XFL are dying.


They were never alive. A pro football league will never work in this country. NFL is too big and too established. People want to watch the best of the best. Not a bunch of rejects.

I will never be able to understand people who complain about too much football being on TV.

All I can figure is that they're fantasy nerds who can't just enjoy the sport without known quantities and an expert guide telling them what to watch for and which stars to complain about.

The USFL teams never had a chance to prove their fans could support them at an adequate level.

Omaha needs a team. They supported their “Spring League” team better than I’ve seen from any minor league football.

Fact is, we need a strong minor league. After Euro league failed and area league diminished, there was nothing. Then 4 leagues tried to launch at the same time. Merger was definitely needed.

so the USFL has 8 teams

and the XFL has 8 teams

so 8 + 8 = 8 when the only chance for any real success is a 16 team league



they are too stupid to even be called dumb at this point since its clear their goal is to sabotage this thing.

Made-for-TV football leagues that everyone hoped would be swimming in sports gambling ad revenue.

Then the sports gambling app land grab ended and the money dried up.

So we'll have one season of this UFL or whatever, and then it'll be done.

As much as some of y’all wanted it to happen, no one was really asking for spring and summer football…
