hammerva Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 So the Defenders picked the worst game to play typical Washington football Although a TD at least helps a little momentum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 So the XFL ended up losing around $60 million according to Sports Illustrated. It's bad but I am not sure if it is as bad as the original XFL version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 It really just depends on what their path to profitability is, if anything. Losing money the first year or two or even longer is expected when starting a big business but there has to be a plan to not lose money and I don't see what that path is for either XFL or USFL. I mean I know the *how* (big money TV contract) but I don't know if there is any inkling that will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this one lost less (adjusted for inflation just over half as much, in fact) But, then, that was an all-time disaster so this ain't good.

johnnyboy Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 The European League of Football is back again. It has expanded again with 6 new faces, although the Istanbul Rams did not return from the 2022 season. The Milano Seamen are one of the expansion teams and they play in a velodrome!

Dewar Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 CFL week 1 is in the books. Bombers looked really good, hopefully they can stop with the fumbles. Feel bad for the Elks getting stuffed three times from the one yard like to lose to Saskabush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 The National Arena League has folded the Albany Empire. Owner Antonio Brown had been fined multiple times for conduct detrimental to the league. He never paid the fines, so the team's league membership has been revoked.

Amazing that he ever paid anything in the first place. Unreal with how this guy has burned every bit of goodwill he ever built up in his NFL career.

Unreal with how this guy has burned every bit of goodwill he ever built up in his NFL career. I'm more amazed that theoretically-reputable sports leagues thought the dude who stripped down and went peace-out on his team literally DURING a game might be stable enough to run one of their franchises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the CFL's insane operations cap that limits how much money you can have on the books for coaches and staff. Literally the Elks can't fire Chris Jones, a very good and sane policy.
