Arena Football League folding current teams, future in doubt

Despite experiencing modest success with a new single-entity ownership structure for the 2019 season, it sounds like the Arena Football League is now on the brink of total collapse.
Today, the AFL announced that all six local market teams were laying off staff and ceasing local business operations. The purported cause is a multi-million dollar lawsuit from a workers compensation insurance provider.
“We haven’t made a decision on whether to completely suspend operations,” commissioner Randall Boe told The Albany Times Union. “That’s a decision that will probably be made in the next several weeks. We do know, under any set of circumstances, we will not be continuing to operate business operation units in our local markets. We will be closing those business operations in our local markets, including Albany.”

This will be its second time folding. Time to let it die.

Arena football reminds me of Kurt Warner and Chris Beard. I will be happy to see it go away.

They’re getting crushed because their patent on the game itself expired and other leagues have since formed. The Arena Football League might be going away but the game itself is still being played in other leagues
Yall member back when EA made an arena football video game?

Hopefully the ncaa can go back to being amateur and all of the college players wanting to make money while developing for the NFL can form a league like this. Surely that will work.

Yep. I snagged a copy of it when I worked at Blockbuster.

Midway made one first that was a Blitz clone after Kurt Warner won the Super Bowl.

Surprised it took this long, the league was always just unstable, half the league relocating after every season it seems.
