Having learned nothing from the AAF disaster and the XFL fiasco over a decade ago, the XFL plows forward. Right now, it looks good-and the XFL inked a deal to air the games on ESPN, ABC, and Fox. Happy days are here again, and all looks good. Only one major problem. Every other football league (with the exception of the Arena League, which is hardly a powerhouse) has failed. Including ones recently.
We forget things very quickly. The AAF looked like it would succeed at first. After all, ratings were good. And yes, they were-at first. Eventually ratings tailed off and attendance was horrible. This will happen to the XFL as too. It'll get a curiosity bump at first, but there is no long term potential with this.
