A.) The previous iterations history and shared ownership.
B.) The fact that this league is to market first and picked the ideal window to play in (starting before spring training for baseball even) and has a nascent relationship with the NFL who ever since NFL Europe stopped has no development league

Well I mean people who don't have the option are clearly in the mix but I'm talking about people who have other options.

I agree completely with you. I was just commenting on the XFL’s fucked up brand. Vince has been gleeful playing up the no kneeling/no issues with head shots shit to differentiate his shitty league.
And saying stuff like zero tolerance but openly courting white dirt bags to play in the league because he understands there’s a market for football fans that hate black people.
I've only seen a few minutes so far. The uniforms are pretty decent, nice middle ground between new and not super gimmicky. And the play style is definitely NFL which I prefer to arena/CFL/college

Johnny Manziel is not allowed to play in the XFL as he was arrested. Vince McMahon made a big deal about not using players who have criminal records but we will see if that is something they will actually end up doing or not.

I absolutely despise how the defense is fucked over harder on penalties that the offense. Automatic first downs should only happen on, say, personal fouls (that do not include incedental contact).
I just love the defensive holding call.
Defensive holding in particular kinda needs to be an automatic first down, cause otherwise the incentive to just hold on any passing down is too strong
I agree in general though (like isn’t hands to the face five yards and a first? Just why)
it was the smallest on the list but
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget

If the awarded penalty doesn't give a first down, then no first down. Defenses already know it is better to commit a penalty than give up bigger yardage. It sure worked out for LAT. Going from 3rd and ten to 3rd and five shouldn't be considered more outrageous than going from 4th and 15 to 1st and ten but only gaining five yards.
I hope that AAF ends up better run than the UFL, which, given the media blitz it already seems to be. Went to a couple UFL games back in the day and enjoyed them.
I wouldn't mind Sacramento Mountain Lions coming back as an AAF team. Or go with the original name Northern California Redwoods which amuses me for no particular reason.
I think there’s a huge market (well, big enough for a profitable league) of people that want to watch less unethical football. I’m not sure that’s possible, though eliminating the kickoff is a good step for the AAF and hopefully they can go from that to codifying good tackling in their rulebook without making every play controversial.
Having less money may help keep them from making crazy bad discipline and personnel decisions as well- keep the abusers and bullies out, and maybe don’t force dudes to get hooked on opioids.

Hands to the face is dangerous, and is penalized because of that danger.

Basically all defensive penalties are either dangerous (personal foul, hands to face, tripping), exploitable (PI, holding) or don't result in a first down (offside, 12 men, running into the kicker)
Browns are going to be so overhyped and win like 5 games. So there's that
You're kidding, right?
They're going to win their Division this year, go to the AFC Conference game next year, and win the Superbowl in early 2022.
Or, they'll go 3-13 the next three years, go through two coaching staff resets, and Baker Mayfield will be proclaimed a bust.
I'm trying out to be a NFL news personality. I've gotta bring the hot taeks.
Honestly, if they can get a winning record, and finish second in the Division (even if that's not enough for a wildcard), I would chalk that up as a win. Anything more than that (and I hope they do it), and they're exceeding my expectations.
lol the Lions trying to get out from being picked for Hard Knocks. Comment from Patricia: "I think Jon Gruden is an excellent choice for that show," Patricia said. "I think the Oakland Raiders and everything they‘ve got going on right now would be fantastic viewing for everybody to watch."

They're not wrong. People love to rubberneck at train wrecks.

Which teams is that an argument for?
Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.

It's the NFL's minor league (kind of).
I recorded the opening game and just started watching it. It's something to pass the time until the draft at least. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Was there one to ight I only saw tomorrow's
I had the pregame on when I was doing other stuff and the word of the day was “opportunity”.
Plus a couple of the AAF officials were openly talking about how they’d like to basically be a development league for the NFL.
