Is 40 years considered near future?

But does the XFL have anyone on staff with a business degree?

Sounds like a wcw approach and you see how well that turned out.
First they need to make money, then they can slowly and organically expand their fan base as well as their on field talent. That’s probably a 5-10 year process right there and then they would still be lightyears away from competing with the nfl.

Not Going to happen. The league has no teams in the Midwest or Northeast. Surrendering Chicago, NYC, DC, Ohio, PA, Maryland, NJ, Minnesota, Missouri, and etc. is not a formula for success.
If you are going to have football teams playing during the winter months in the North and Mid West you are going to need domed football stadiums. How many of those are there?
Offhand all I can think of are stadiums in Saint Louis, Detroit, Minnesota, Indianapolis, and Syracuse.

No,they don't

There’s no investment,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told PFT via email, in response to the question of whether the league or any owners have invested in the AAF. “It’s a programming partnership with the AAF.” The NFL sees a clear benefit in broadcasting 19 AAF games this season. “The AAF provides another opportunity for players, coaches, officials, personnel people to get valuable experience,” McCarthy said. “The AAF, and also the XFL, demonstrate the strength of the game and the health of football as entertainment. They reflect substantial investments and major commitments by serious and credible football and business
Where are you guys getting this?

Actively investing money into the AAF or not, you think the NFL Network will be airing XFL games?

WGAS? Imsure they'll get their own TV contract and Vince McMahon has pledged to dump $500 million into the league

You really think the AAF would rather be televised on the NFL network as opposed to getting subsidized by the NFL?
In the scheme of things,its nothing more than cheap programming to help fill out the winter month's TV schedule...nothing more or less.

The NFL thinks they can’t be touched they really think they are invincible. Last night taught us there tyranny is coming to an end, and Rodger Duche Bag Goddell will be it’s down fall.
People want tackle football, they are soooo tired of the penalties, the fines, the political BS, just everything that the NFL is today. WE put up with it because it is a monopoly, there is no other choice. That all just changed, I love capitalism where if your business offers a better product you too can get a piece of the market.
Look who is in charge of the AAF league. A bunch of ex-NFL figure heads. Justin Tuck….Polumalu I mean thsose are HOF defensive players, I am pretty sure I know how they feel about the NFL’s pussification of football in the “no tackle league”.
All this league needs to do is what it just did…let them play, people love big hits, it will turn in viewers. Only 8 teams, easy to keep up on. 2.5hr games…so money. They have removed 2/3 of the kicking game just wish they remove all of it. No more PATs…YEA…no more holding /block in the back on every kickoff, just wish you had to go for it on 4th downs so there would be no more punts.
If they get a 2or3 good QBs, this league will take off. The games will be more intimate because everybody will know everybody. It will be more personal, more rivalry esc.
Build up their market and then take the NFL head on Monday nights. The NFL gives us a NFC least game Eagle/Giants….slit my wrist….or we can get 4 games of the whole other league. Bye Bye Eagles and Giants. You can’t conquer the NFL in one season but within 10 years if could be a thing of the past. They can just move their lame arse new version of NFL football to Europe where they really want to be.
Sure there will be a few Pitt/Packer/NE/Cowboys fans that will have to accept their teams are no more, but they’ll get over it.
I have been saying the writing is on the wall for the NFL and have been waiting for this new league. Listen to the fans and the message boards and you can fine tune this thing into the football we really want to see.
