Told you guys in the other, AAF lovefest, thread that this league wouldn't be around long. #1 reason is attendance, or lack there of.

Yikes. Do they not get paid by all the TV networks right off the bat?

Those Starter coats and jackets were the best. I want to walk into my Foot Locker and buy one again.

I'm surprised they didn't have enough cash around to fund payroll for a season. You know exactly what that number was going to be.



The league was founded by a TV and film producer.

League was founded by Dick Ebersol’s kid. He probably had daddy call in a lot of favors for him.

I'm sure the NFL needed help when getting started. However, if people don't start showing up and watching it won't last 3 years

This is wrong. San Antonio attendance is great. It has exceeded League expectations.
