It might have been a little low brow and crude but it appears the NFL finally caught up to it (or sank to its level) a decade and a half later.
Say what you will about the XFL, no XFL player was ever arrested for anything. Ray Rice, "Deflategate" cities being held hostage for new stadiums and were things that never happened in the XFL. Maybe it wasn't around long enough or the players did not make enough money to get in trouble. NFL offseason news tends to be a never ending series of arrests and sociopath behavior.
The XFL quality of play was behind the established league but lately NFL play has declined and there are too many commericials, not to mention too many rules that constantly stop play.
I have not even got to ticket prices and declining ratings.
There is time to turn it around though. Will the NFL listen?
Anyway, I think there is room for a spring league in this country and it would be a lot of fun, especially for cities that don't have an NFL team, It would be good for the game and the fans,!
Maybe the Los Angeles Chargers could find a real home......
....talk about something that was not that well though out....
