    I thought the XFL was fun. But ESPN and the rest of sports journalists felt it was an insult to their entire profession. How dare the world have more than one league! Players dating cheerleaders? It's called the No Fun League for a reason.

    I went to an XFL game and it was great atmosphere. Everyone was there to have a good time.

      Same thing but for arena football. IMO Vince McMahon's involvement was what killed the XFL - he had a lot of bad ideas from cringeworthy bits with the cheerleaders to putting it on prime time TV (while the NFL has existed comfortably without much competition in its own time slot for ages).

        Arena football was lame because it wasn't real football. I'd rather watch Canadian football (eww). But XFL was real football with a couple of twists. Didn't they give 5 points for long field goals?
