It will never see season 2. People just aren’t interested in minor league sports. https://sports.yahoo.com/aaf-chairman-says-league-could-fold-if-nflpa-wont-let-it-use-nfl-players-170726633.html

They can't just be a league of NFL wash-outs. That was probably obvious to them. I bet they're plan was to have a strong initial showing and then use that to bargain with the NFLPA. That's a steep uphill battle. The XFL will run into the same problem, even if they have more money to throw around. They need to be a paying alternative to the NCAA. Develop star players of their own right out of high school.

section122 Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 I would say that the biggest problem they face is I have no idea what channel they are on. I think they play on Sunday? 2019 advertising is free. Get some witty kid to run your twitter account and drum up publicity the easy way. Look at Wendy's twitter for inspiration. Commercials on ESPN or basic cable touting their brand. Something. Anything.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 ...uh oh...already??........ AAF in jeopardy of folding, says majority owner 1:55 PM ET ESPN The majority owner of the Alliance of American Football told USA Today Sports that league is in danger of folding without help from the National Football League Players Association. Tom Dundon, who became the AAF's chairman last month, told USA Today Sports in a recent interview that the NFLPA is not cooperating with the AAF by refusing to allow the first-year league to use young NFL players. "If the players union is not going to give us young players, we can't be a development league," Dundon told USA Today Sports. "We are looking at our options, one of which is discontinuing the league." http://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/26372845/aaf-jeopardy-folding-says-majority-owner
Mr. WEO Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 20 hours ago, LeGOATski said: He's a very predictable poster. Yeah, I can predict the obvious. Like the demise of yet another "pro football league". Now they are blaming .....the NFLPA?? Makes no sense. This guy is blowing smoke when he should have been far more careful with his money. What a fool. Pretty predictable right?
Bray Wyatt Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Maybe Vince McMahon is using their (AAF) experience, and his past failure, to better prepare the XFL? He did just sell off a bunch of stock (I think worth 270 mill recently) for the XFL.

PromoTheRobot Posted March 30, 2019 Author Posted March 30, 2019 Manziel down. He was actually playing well. His receiver let a sure TD through his hands and it was intercepted. Manziel hurt trying to make a tackle.

wppete Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Manziel was completely out cold there. Looked serious.
PromoTheRobot Posted March 30, 2019 Author Posted March 30, 2019 Orlando QB Gilbert, normally the best in the league, throwing picks like Mardi Gras beads today. A lot of injuries in this game. I can appreciate the NFLPA's position not allowing NFL players in the AAF.
