I would personally be a big fan of the Chattanooga Cucks.

I think they should segregate sports again. Fake patriots can enjoy their anthem with hypocrisy as they honor Russia-wannabe. I hope it happens in every sport. You get to have and protect your bullshite traditions and such that means so much and only applies to you anyway.

I've wondered why a team has never tried splitting their games between two cities or even just giving a nearby city a few games a year. It seems like an easy way to make your market bigger. When the Grizzlies moved to Memphis in 2001 they never made any attempt to draw people from the Little Rock area and I never understood that. The metro is more than half the size of the Memphis metro and there are no professional sports or relevant college sports in the city. If they had played a couple of exhibition games a year at Verizon Arena I think it would have been a good investment into their brand.

I just don’t want to see teams in markets like Orlando, Birmingham, or Albuquerque. There are still markets that could possibly support teams better like San Antonio, Toronto, etc.

Not sure if “least city loyal” is the correct term. That generation is relocating to other areas of the country more than ever before. They may still be loyal to the city, but can’t attend games in NOLA if they live in Houston for example. But still watch the Saints on TV every wkend.

For every 1 c on z bandwagon douche, there's 10 more who are fans of only one team per league

There have been pro teams that used multiple locations in the past and its always failed.

This is not a bad idea actually. Trying to beat the NFL at their own game is doomed to fail.

People will eventually become attached to certain teams regardless if they have a city affiliation or not. It's like car racing. You don't become a Haas fan because they're based out of South Carolina. You just like the team.

I mean it won’t work but I like your originality.
It would have to be a HELL of a traveling spectacle for this model to work.

It’s just a bunch of throw away bullshite. Some players will get paid, which is good, but it’s being formed as republican propaganda.

You want an ENTIRE LEAGUE to barnstorm?

This isn't the Harlem Globetrotters or Barnum & Bailey.

XFL might be a circus enough, you don't need to provide the Circus tents.

That may work for wrestling MMA and Boxing because they are individual sports and for boxing and MMA the athletes have a home base where they train for months.

If xfl teams have no home city, where will the players live and practice?

I'm about to nerd this place up, but what if the players were sorted by personality type? Different teams would cater to different fans: highly moral, or flashy, or shite-talking, or blue collar.

Maybe there's a type of Hat that could help with that, uh, Sorting.

Just lean into the anthem nonsense and make it white vs black. It would guarantee some sort of fanbase.
