how can they get a fan base if these are only trying for 1 year?

what is the purpose of doing this?

fukking Corona.

To be fair, I don't thing Spring football will ever work and I am a huge football fan. Too much football. You just watched the superbowl and the week after the XFL? No chance to miss it and get excited for its return. Plus, its not that great lets be honest. All the best players are in the NFL anyways. I won't miss the XFL.

I liked it. I was hoping it would stick around. They needed to fix the ridiculous PAT rules though.

i like it also. I would imagine that their business plans and owners committed included a clause to guarantee staying committed for 3 years at least because you can't build fans in just one season. Even without the virus they'd need 2 to 3 years to build a base. they had a good start this year playing in real stadiums, having real football players and being on prime stations. Hopefully that is just fake news

Vince will step up and save the day again for the XFL next year.. XFL was finally showing promise and fan interest this year. It could be a winning product and money maker if it kept going..

Vince to the rescue in the future, dude has more money then he knows what to do with.. KEEP THE football fans and PEOPLE HAPPY VINNY when the NFL is not in play in the off season!!!! XFL must live on!!!!

Xfl will never be back

It was a joke

Sad to see the news, but it's not unexpected. It's a very expensive product to produce for a season and the US economy isn't going to be strong next February.

I liked Arena football more than XFL

They just needed to change a few things with the Arena League

I believe it's called cutting your losses

He must be very bearish on the future of in-person entertainment. By most standards the league had been successful for its inaugural season. Maybe NFL paid him to go away?

jjgold · 04-10-20, 08:19 PM

There was nobody in the stands and the ratings were really really bad very little money was being bet also

Corona just expedited the inevitable here.

cincinnatikid513 · 04-10-20, 09:12 PM

Bad product. Coronavirus did the league a favor.

Buckandadime · 04-10-20, 10:23 PM

Folded up the chairs..
Not gonna be back next year..

ThaTopMoron · 04-10-20, 10:59 PM

needed better QB's... more guys like what Walker was doing with his team

JIBBBY · 04-10-20, 11:08 PM

^^^Haters!!

XFL had some talent.. Decent football, it was getting better as the season progressed.. D league for NBA in comparison but a little bit better..

I got hooked after watching a few games, you punks on SBR would have liked it also if you gave it a chance, bet on it and won some money like I did..

Bring that shiiit back next year I say Vinny!!!

I'm with ya Jibs, loved it! Nice alternative to wager on with all the hoops going on. Took a world-wide pandemic to derail it. Hope Vinny has 2nd thoughts and reboots it in 2021!
