Lol ya’ll gotta kill some of these narratives. Honestly, the XFL was going well. All jokes aside, the ratings were falling week to week but ALWAYS remained solid. Was outperforming practically everything else in their time slots and even beating out other sports including primetime NBA games surprisingly.
The attendance was actually growing weekly. In some markets it wasn’t great (LA/NY) but in others they were literally selling out entire venues (St Louis, Seattle)
it was a hit on twitter
and most importantly, they had real talent. PJ Walker was a fukkin beast and he, as well as a ton of other players got NFL deals when the season wrapped. XFL was legit becoming an alternative to NCAA for guys that decided not to go the college route as well as a second chance at a landing spot for vets.
As much as we hate Vince (for good reason..He’s a piece of shyt) the XFL was good for the sport of Football, and it wouldn’t have went under this time around if Covid-19 didn’t crush the buildings. Like as a sports fan, I wouldn’t be mad at it coming back for a third time.
but that’s me
