It's the exact opposite: McMahon has stated that there will be an emphasis on player safety.

Manziel has a criminal record, so he's out. McMahon has also stated that every player will be required to stand for the national anthem, so I seriously doubt that Kaepernick will be involved.
Also, for a guy like Kaepernick, what's the incentive? He's still worth tens of millions and I seriously doubt that at age 32, he'll want to play for $15k a game or less. McMahon is funding the league with $100 million dollars for 8 teams. After staffers, GM's, a 40 man roster for each team, etc., the paychecks will be less than what NFL Practice Squad players are paid. |

If the XFL is "staying out of political and social issues," wouldn't the logical thing be to not play the anthem before games at all?
Saying that you're going to stay out of things like that in one breath but then saying that players will be REQUIRED to stand in another breath seems kinnnnda like a contradiction. Maybe its just me.. Inb4 the people saying the anthem is not a political thing.. you would have been right about that a few years ago, but it is absolutely a politicized issue at the moment. |

Yeah, the WWF has a long history of strict moral standards for its employees.
The only way I'll watch is if the Iron Sheik is the color man for every game. Last edited by Mennonite; 01-25-2018 at 06:53 PM.. |

Always felt there is room an nfl alternative. There will be a ton of discarded players happy to play for those checks.
Not sure if this is it though. |

I hate the lull between SB to Aug so I may be one of the few into it. I admire Vince the son of a Bitch doesn't give up

This was gonna be a titanic failure with or without the political stance/non-stance/whatever Vince has in mind
Let him burn his money I wont bother watching it, and I'd bet most others wont either... bring back NFL Europe, then I'd give a damn |

If he plays this right...it can work.
I'd watch it. Need teams in major markets without a pro team though. St Louis San Diego Oakland Portland Salt Lake City Then concentrate on college hotbeds. Austin Memphis Louisville Omaha Albuquerque Then places like Green Bay that would be a small market that would be family oriented. Fargo Des Moines Boise Columbus Oklahoma City
