hammerva Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Yeah crazy is a good way to put it. So the players would be paid the same way that Hooters pays their waitresses I guess. sucks for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 It's trickly up economics and was always the goal. The rich don't want to pay workers anything. So your fellow citizens having a living wage is now a new kind of tax that you get to pay for them. So we start with the waiters living on tips. Then it's a minimum wage that requires food stamps to live on. Now it's the artists and journalists. Next the athletes. Can anyone guess who will never ever ever be compensated that way?

Given that the presser is at MetLife Stadium, I think we can assume a New York/New Jersey team, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofuture Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 So apparently the XFL's website inadvertently revealed the 8 cities that will be hosting teams: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 The hubris. I love it. Why headline in Starling City when you can be the 200th most interesting thing in Gotham? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 L.A., seriously? They barely give a shit about the Rams, and none about the Chargers, and you think you measely minor league wannabe is gonna get traction there? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 On 1/25/2018 at 5:43 PM, BobbyWhioux said: the talent drop off will be such that at least one team will be fielding a white running back. You know how people get when there's a white running back. Who are the Carolina Panthers? Also, of the eight cities, all except one has an NFL team already. That makes no sense at all. Aim for the gaps in the market (like putting a team in Vegas last time out), not a saturated markey. St Louis, yes, good start. Now how about Oakland, they're losing their team soon? How about Milwaukee, they used to have pro football games (a long time ago). You worked with Jim Ross for multiple decades and you never figured out people from Oklahoma like this sport? San Diego has all these fans who lost their team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 To be fair - a football team playing in DC at a metro stop (since it will be at DC United's new stadium) is FAR different than going to a Redskins game. And considering how expensive it is thanks to Dan Snyder - if the XFL keeps the costs down - in this one specific case it is a smart idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 The idea of the new York team playing in Met Life Stadium is hilarious. I mean I guess they don't have a mid level stadium in the area but that is going to be the football equivalent of the Kalisto vs Ryback match at WM Dallas.

I don't know, DC is as in love with their terrible football team as any city in the country. If the Nats, Wizards, Caps, and United all won championships 5 years in a row, it wouldn't mean as much as one Redskins championship around here. The Redskins are the team the city is married to, the rest of the teams are mistresses who are hoping against hope that they'll leave their wife one day.

RIPPA Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 No one is going to abandon the Redskins over this I am talking about actually being able to afford going to a game and experiencing live football And considering how much attendance has plummeted at Skins game... Of course we are all acting like the XFL will actual play a real game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
