Can i just say XFL, Spring League .
The yanks wont give it a chance why do you think the Euro League is played in Europe
Absoloutly you can say XFL, although why you would I have no idea. The XFL was to football what WWE is to actual sport. Nothing.
The Euro league is a developmental league. It serves a purpose in giving a broader range of people (that being Europe) a chance to play in the NFL as well as a platform for letting young drafted guys show their wares hone their skills. Esentially it's a metro league for Gridiron.
The AFL was also bagged when it began but is now begining to flourish & garner an ever growing fan base. This new league will essentially be a US based Euro style league allowing guys a chance to be semi-pro with a chance to be picked up at a later date. I think it has merit if done right. Hell, the CFL was hammered, & still is, by the Americans but thats been running in some sort of form since the early 1900's so dont believe all the things the seppos have to say.
