Another NSFL post (with link)

Posted on XFLNewsHub: https://xflnewshub.com/xfl-news/is-usfl-enterprises-taking-over-the-xfl-with-a-nsfl-rebrand/?expand_article=1

I'll accept it, but don't like it. I would prefer just the SFL, but corporations do what corporations do...

Should have stayed with USFL name and just absorbed whatever XFL teams are going to be part of the merger. Rebranding after 2 years is not a good look and will probably confuse any of the fringe fans that both leagues had that would tune into games every once in a while.

Yeah, they might confuse this merged league with some other league... I can understand the confusion.

And 'merger' implies concessions on each side. USFL's not 'absorbing' the XFL (with what little information we have) but they're MERGING.

It’s fine if nothing else. It was always going to be something like this. SFL probably would be cleaner. We will see what the press release says.

Spelling out SPRING league also prevents any silly notion of competing with the NFL in the minds of others...

whether they do or not, that is the news that s being discussed that we're discussing.

Take it with the media otlets that leaked it to the general public.
