@@Hockey_00002 Well big dawg come this February you got your team, make sure to show up and support the league because damn it'd be great to have some good football during the long ass offseason of the NFL. Overall the 2020 season was a Massive success and had the pandemic not killed it I think it would've survived to go another season. I think once it makes it past the first season the money rolls in, more talent shows up, it'll get itself rolling that's for sure.

It is, but it’s still missing something from a presentation standpoint compared to 2020! Most (maybe all) original team logos and uniforms in 2020 were better!…also, BIG mistake leaving LA & NY! Vegas and Orlando bombed! …those were 2 huge (biggest) TV markets

[@fleamarketmixtape3793]

@@TiltBrook man this league was so legit in 2020 its a shame.. i will still support it and the orlando dc game was crazy but the stands compared to 2020 is wild. look how great of a start the xfl was having. the people were out there in really good numbers and into it. a lot of talk about declining viewers and the negative were coming up towards the end but that is expected just in general let alone the media. but the 2020 league had some really good talent. i think the playoffs setup could be better! the top 2 teams of each division leaves a lot on the table as far as high stakes goes. it should be the top teams get a bye week an the other 2nd and 3rd place teams play a divional rd to play the division champs that way it has a chance for a cinderella team to possibly win or play for the xfl championship. i really believe if the 2020 season wasn't killed by covid the xfl would have been growing each year in a big way. especially would have benefitted from the off season with a lot of talk surrounding what the league mvp pj walker was going to do. the talk about nfl teams going after him would really have gottem the attention of some people who maybe looked down at the level of play and if walker got the roughnecks to open up that budget to keep him it would have done even more for the league... the xfl isn't at the level of the 2020 version but i am hopeful it can get there an then get to where it was suppose to be

I am going to miss watching sports. I am a huge fan of various sports and I was really starting to enjoy XFL on weekends along with the usual doses of EPL, MLS, NBA etc. I was also looking forward to March Madness and the new Formula 1 season. I am happy that health and safety has been prioritized everywhere, but man my life is suddenly empty without sports. It has been one saving grace amidst the depression and anxiety that I have been suffering from a personal standpoint. Watching sports gives me a temporarily relief from negativity, and even that has gone away from me now. :(
