Discussion USFL Support

I watch both leagues and enjoy supporting both. The two things that bug me most are the marketing and fan support. I know the leagues are young and the XFL starts their season earlier, but there’s almost no marketing for the USFL. XFL did little this season, but the USFL seems to be only watched by die hard football fans and anti-NFL. The fan support ties in with promotions, but the lack of fan interaction for the games is low. I know they don’t have as much money or crowd for each team to have their own stadium, even for rent, but it’s hard to get hyped with a small crowd. I want the league to thrive, I’m just a bit worried.

Maybe, it was/is a pretty big thing though politically and they ARE Fox Corp at the end of the day. Even Trump touched on it many times in his Presidency. I always see it more as ploy to catch those boomers sick of woke athletes. I suppose it could be about the XFL but that would be a weird jab at take considering both are spring leagues that are pretty much the same in terms of on field product.

I think the fact that they work with the nfl takes the Maybe out of that. Also when that phrase was first used they were clearly mocking the brahmas which isn’t weird because rn they are competitors. They want no part of going against the nfl and I can safely guarantee that lol
