    I like that in the first post the camera angles are referenced as terrible. The camera angles from XFL changed the way we view sports today.

    Gives him 2 years to hype it up, curious what months the season will partake, I would love it to be between NBA Playoffs and NFL training camp, so April-July time frame.

    Seems kind of like a dumb time to be investing in a sport that has peaked.

    IF he tries to Do the "Trump Football league", i.e. Wrap it in the Flag, try to appeal to TRUMP Voters.......he will find that the XFL will have a problem: No talent with the lack of talented Black players. You will also get scrubs trying to play.

    Clearly Mcmahon is marketing towards the idiots who protested the NFL due to the kneeling controversy. I'm just not sure there will be enough of those people to make the XFL a success.

    It's a minor league, scrubs will be playing regardless.

    He'd be better off making his own minor football league and take in one and done college players and high school players. Could make a dent in CFB if successful.

    Hopefully this move brings about a renaissance of late-90s XTREME marketing.

    it may fail spectacularly, but I love the way McMahon is rolling this out

    he's timing the start with the potential NFL lockout, very clever

    Hopefully the XFL and He Hate Me will respect our troops and the legacy of Pat Tillman.

    The team name should be either

    Austin Stone Colds
    Austin Rattlesnakes
    Austin 316 (kinda like that D-League team that uses their area code)
