On a serious note, anyone who considers themselves to be a football fan while trashing "lesser" leagues can go **** themselves with a rusty rake.
Rooting for a team in a "better" league gives you no superiority points, and is basically the same as a Pats fan going around throwing insults at Cardinals fans. The only thing mocking leagues like the CFL and XFL (God rest its poor, abused soul; **** you, NBC, **** you, Ebersol, and **** you, McMahon) does is prove you're not a football fan so much as you're a football snob. And really, "snob" is too nice a word to use.

The XFL was FUN. The bitterly cold home opener against Las Vegas, the awesome comeback against Chicago (shame it was only the NBC B-game that week) in which Druck replaced the awful Crandell and carried the team on his back to victory, the last game against LA, hoping against hope that things would work out to get Memphis into the playoffs but still enjoying the win and looking forward to next season even if things didn't work out... sigh.
When I got season tickets, I initially scoffed, but once I experienced it, I grew to downright love it. If it hadn't been run (into the ground) by utter morons, it could have been a viable league and would have survived, at least for more than one damn season. The product on the field was far better than it got credit for, but since everyone and their grandmother was blasting the league for a year before it began, it never really got a chance.

The pre-game scramble for the ball was fun, most of the rule tweaks were good for the game, the X-cam (now skycam) was innovative (as evidenced by the fact that this "stupid gimmick," as it was called when the XFL introduced it, is being used on stuff like Monday Night Football and the Super Bowl now) -- especially once the TV producers figured out it was best used for replays and NOT live-action about a third of the way through the season -- and the camera guys on the field were so unnoticeable that I actually didn't even remember them until writing about the X-cam. As for the nicknames... MONEY!
