I've got to wonder about how this is going to work. The first time around it was overly focused on TV. Of course streaming is going to be a thing now, but are they still going to make home viewership the reason they do it, or is it going to be more market focused?
They can't possibly play the same rules they did the first time around. Concussions are too big an issue and they'll never get insured. So I figure it'll stick closer to the football we already see.
I'd take a bet that they'll mention that they'll require players to stand for the anthem though.
edit: I'd lose that bet. Kind of noncommittal. Just saying that they'll listen to the fans and that he doesn't believe they're there for politics.
The X behind the new XFL logo does resemble the Confederate Battle Flag though.
The XFL thing is pretty much a misnomer. It's a safe, family friendly, league with no WWE connections or crossover whatsoever. Journalists missed the mark during the Q&A by not building on the answer of centrally owned teams and asking what the player budget/cap is intended to be, or even asking what the business model is. All the same BS about broadcasting rights and kneeling.
The league is so early on, that there's basically nothing other than a declaration of announcing they exist.
Jeff Marek does seem to be getting his wish of seeing what happens if the doctors write the rules since McMahon was saying that they'd be listening to them to make a safer league (than the NFL).
