neo_prankster 1,361 Posted December 4 I dunno if we've mentioned this in the XFL thread or in this one... But one question I feel we are ignoring is who exactly is this American Patriot League and the XFL are trying to appeal to and why? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gothamite 11,083 Posted December 4 We talked a lot about this in the XFL and AAF threads, and the answer is “Who the hell knows”? Identifying a niche in the marketplace is usually one of the first things a new business does, but there’s no indication that any of these new minor leagues have done any thinking beyond “Americans love the NFL = Americans will support any pro football”. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gothamite 11,083 Posted December 7 That’s certainly the inference we’ve drawn. But that’s a temper tantrum, not a business model. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since 2010, the world has shown a temper tantrum is a very effective organizational model. Sells lot of ugly merchandise too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
