2019 AAF Season Thread

[John Price]

It's called "filler programming". For all we know, AAF is PAYING NFL Network to be on there.

If the NFL was actually "propping" it up, they wouldn't be letting someone from the outside essentially buy the league out.

What are you talking about? The influence the NFL has on this league is crystal clear.

Do you think they want it to fail They're lovin it

 

[John Price]

^This exactly.

I think we all overestimated just how "in" the NFL was in on the AAF. If they were really in the background, the league wouldn't have missed payrolls two weeks in a row.

You speak as if this is a bad thing that the Canes owner is trying to bail them out.

"Influence" is not the same thing as "propping up".

Propping up would mean the NFL being the one investing $250MM to keep it afloat. Has the NFL even invested a dime in this thing?

I don't think it's as bad as you're making it sound, for the reasons listed above.

I'm not making anything sound "bad" at all.

All games are broadcast free on the AAF app. Though it's just the skycam feed with no announcers or score overlay. Multiple Youtube channels also stream the broadcasts though, check r/AAF_Football for streams and channels.

Hopefully Alliance will listen to the fans and stream games on Facebook Live eventually.

/r/aaf_football is the bad reddit

the real reddit is /r/aafb

 

[DanielPlainview]

Use both. AAF_Football is bigger and usually more active

AAF_Football got off to a bad start when members went meme crazy in week one but it's much better now.

Arizona trying to get back into it.

I wonder if they'll consider pushing week 1 back to the last weekend of February or the first week of March. The weather for most of the games has been bad. Yesterday, SLC was 35 and cloudy with 15mph winds. They announced ~10,400 but it looked like half showed

Apparently the AAF site will just air the streams now at least for B/R live games. I had it on the background the other day while playing computer games over the weekend.

Yeah, I was having issues with BR Live but AAF.com was perfect.

Not a great weeknd for attendance:
Orlando 20,000
San Diego 14,000
Atlanta 11,000
Salt Lake City 10,000

Disappointing considering the good weather everywhere except SLC.

I'm curious why the league is having a neutral field championship game in Las Vegas. It is widely known that unless a league has a rabid and big fanbase, this usually results in terrible attendance. Even in big time college football, we see conference championship games at neutral fields have less than stellar turnouts.
