yeah, I'm assuming they already suspended games and no one paid attention to it

Ive tried finding something and there is nothing about them suspending games yet

That would be great if they didn't suspend them but if I was going to bet on it I would say they don't play. Especially Tampa Bay where a lot of older people live.

this league is not in a position to cancell their games. This could be a ratings boom for the league!

Yeah, I guess if none of the players have it and they play with no fans. This week's games are in Seattle, NY, DC and Tampa. Seattle was already planned to be with no fans. NY I think just made a rule that they don't want crowds of over 500, DC will probably do the same. But you're right it is a great TV opportunity.

Or Vinny Mac could use this as an excuse to get out with a semblance of dignity....

I hope they play. They will be the most watched sport this weekend with ratings numbers very high.

The games are played while I am at work, so I don't get to see many. But from what I have heard on fox sports radio on the way to work, XFL is trying to work with the NFL on rules. They are willing to test rules that the NFL is thinking about including into their rule book. I think that is smart.

I like that they kept a lot of the brand of the original XFL (team names, logos, etc). I also like how they aren't trying to be the "next big league" trying to compete with the NFL. If you watch the 30 for 30 on the XFL, they point out many qualities of the XFL that the NFL uses (camera angles mostly).

I think if they keep the relationship that is unique from other leagues and act like a B league, then they should be fine.

And it's cancelled

Could you be anymore wrong?

Could you be anymore wrong?

Could you chill?

And it's cancelled

Works for me.

 

[Duffman]

Works for me.

Someone doesn’t know what the word cancelled means.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Epic fail.

 

[RememberTheKoy]

What an absolute historic missed/wasted opportunity.

They didn't need to play out the rest of the season but just play their games that are in 2-3 days. They would have had the attention of the entire sports watcher world.

 

[Duffman]

Glad to see people are putting seeing a sporting event over the health and safety of the US population as a big factor.

Not looking like the XFL is coming back anytime soon:

The XFL has advised players they can sign immediately with teams in the NFL or any other league once their exit physicals are complete tomorrow, per sources. So for the stars — Josh Johnson, P.J. Walker, Jordan Ta'amu, et al. — a chance to land quickly.
