You mean, you're gonna Force us to.
Sounds like we just bought us another Sports Arena, Citizens.

"Fast-paced, up-tempo, innovative, exciting, high-scoring, more rhythm, more flow, faster and fewer breaks... "
Oh, you're gonna give us Basketball, only, use a pointy ball which they'll kick occasionally, and call it something like Fast Football? Will you be selling Fast Food, too? Can I bring my Fast Car and park it (for $300) real quickly?

Yes. Whatever you do, DO. IT. F A S T.
BEFORE we can think about it.

Oh, and having Dogs play wide receiver is brilliant.
So, that's one good idea, and

You can bet the XFL won't tolerate any nonsense with knees during the national anthem.

All those dispepsic patriot geezers alienated from the NFL are just waiting to be scooped up and formed into a market for boner pills and secret treatments that DESTROY diabetes.

I kinda like the dog-as-receiver idea. If it were made mandatory, I'd buy tickets.

@2,

Exactly. The sole reason the league even exists (or portends to do so) is to provide republican (i.e. "patriotic") fans a chance to watch players they don't give a shit about otherwise not be given the opportunity to demonstrate support for a heartfelt cause.

Honestly though, it's a beautiful fucking representation of the times. Cheeto Shit-For-Brains was elected under the preposterous guise that he'd provide (among other things) a healthcare plan that'd cover everyone, all pre-existing conditions, at minimal cost and with an unlimited network of providers. Dumbshits didn't recognize that all of these provisions are in direct contradictory viability of all of the others and that the promise was a joke. It's exactly as tenable as a football league that can offer ramped up pace of play, less regulated rule infraction calls and decreased debilitating injury risk. Dumbshits gonna dumbshit I guess.

Even the dog as wide receiver schtick has been done already and has been deemed a failure.

People are sad and gullible.

@2 yas, the cranky patriot geezer market is incredibly lucrative to sell to.

Let folks have their fun and stop pouting. Why is that so hard for liberals to understand?

@4
Yes, but will fans be able to buy a beer and a hot dog for less than $10 each?
And when is Mexico paying for that wall?

@6
Cuz we're fucking sick of buying you fuckers new stadia, and dealing with the resulting traffic and agglomeration of chowderheads.
Why is that so hard for you idiots to understand?

Vince McMahon's wife is in Trump's cabinet.

wow
you make TrumpCare sound like a rehash of ObamaCare....

Withholding judgment until Spike weighs in.

@11,

What aren't you liking about it sweetie-pie? I'll grant that "contradictory viability" is a clunky phrase that may not be grammatically correct, but it looks pretty peachy otherwise. Have at me!

Hasn't Vince McMahon's head or heart exploded from the combined effects of 'roids and Viagra? MAGA!

The addition of a Golden Snitch to football is bound to be controversial.

Muffy? Was really looking forward to your expert editorial criticism. Come on, darlin'!

The Jim Zorn-era of the Seahawks is my second-favorite Seahawks era, but Jim Zorn is not a good coach.

Also, no one is getting a new stadium for this—I think the plan is to be a summer league and lease existing fields. Besides, if they don't have the money to coax NFL or NCAA talent into sinking their careers, they'll be lucky to even afford that.

Wonder if they'll reach out to Kap? I could see McMahan asking him to play some sort of leftist villain in this cartoon league.

The XFL should come out and make all players kneel for the anthem, then all the morons that thought C Kap was a revolutionary can watch the league bring down the NFL. Yeah!!!!! Go Dumb dumbs!!!!!

And Welcome to the Plan-Tation!
Yee HAW!

(We got the lynchins' at halftime).
(Or, WE get to take a knee, Haw)!
