This is really great and nice to see the NFL leaning in. Xfl is a great way to try wild and crazy tech things the NFL can borrow. The international league component is also outstanding. In the future I would LOVE for other countries to be able to field a national team. Rather than these dumb international games on an nfl schedule, the way better play is for B teams to play international teams in "friendlies."
