hahaha  hahaha
that thing was destined to fold solely b/c of the emphasis that the WWF put on it...if the WWF would have not made it so emphatically a WWF league, and just promoted XFL football, it would have been a great league
...but having the WWF making such a big deal about it being their league, they lost most true football fans because they knew that the company putting the league out there got notoriety for having fat men in tights throw each other on the floor and scream.
buhbye ex-FL |

Yes. I didn' like this. It was just another small football league with unknown players. Only difference was that it had a lot to do with the WWF and they put on cheerleaders to try to get more viewers.

| I think they hyped it up to much, and tried to almost compare it to the NFL. The quality of play was terrible, I felt alienated as a football fan. It was a total joke and im glad its over. |

Then why are you glad to see it go, if you didn't even see a second of it?
Your EXACTLY like every person of american media -- a hypocrite.

seems to me u got the definition of hypocrisy wrong..then again english is kinda my worst subject
anyways...i think that another popular football league is a great idea, just not the way the WWF tried to do it...i wish that Arena Football had a greater fanbase and could be a big league and be given air time on one of the major metworks, i love arena football
