TV execs are less trustworthy than pro wrestling sports entertainment promoters. This is surprising, but maybe not as surprising as it should be.

IceCap Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Ok, question for you all. The league is dead, it's filed for bankruptcy, and the dirty laundry is out. So I wanna ask the community. Is there a point in keeping this thread alive? I ask because we're in the midst of the NHL and NBA playoffs, the MLB season is underway, and there's another thread dedicated to another spring league that hasn't sunk yet. So seeing a thread dedicated to a league that's dead constantly pop up near the top of the page is questionable. Would it be ok to lock this thing and re-open it if something of significance is revealed? Or potentially re-open it and merge it with the XFL thread should the XFL die off? Sort of a Spring Football Graveyard? I don't like killing discussions prematurely but at the same time, as I said, it's a bit ridiculous to see a thread about a dead league bumping down Big Four playoff threads PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Gotta keep documenting the downfall, it's like an NHL thread. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 This has got to be like May/Taylor's original plan for BoRhap. Freddie/the AAF dies half-way through and the rest of us have to deal with it until the credits roll.

BBTV Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Like any thread, it will die on its own if people don't find it interesting anymore. No need to shut it down if people are still contributing to the discussion and posting interesting details about the fallout from the shutdown. It's not like there's been many off-topic posts.

Cosmic Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Seems strange to even want to lock this thread at this point. This is the place to discuss sports news, and this supernova blowout of a league folding is right up our alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Was Hayes asked by Luck or Vince to say this about the AAF? Individual Team GM's seem like an unnecessary expense with an HC there from the start in a single entity system. A team president for the business side I kinda get, but some of those positions could've doubled up on markets. Multiple accounts in multiple cities is not uncommon.
