If done the right way, I think this could actually be a good thing. One beneficial way of partnering with the NFL i could see would be loaning out practice squad players (like in professional soccer) to FXFL (or w/e) teams so they can actually get some game action rather than just going through practice motions and staying on the sideline

 

thoughts?

My first thought was, "what's the FXFL?"

[PhillyB]

how are they going to get good players for $1000 a week?

This is a very interesting concept and I'm all for more football. There will be a lot of talent left after NFL teams trims there rosters to 53. My only question is: With a name like FXFL - Fall Experimental Football, does the league plan on staying around for the long term?

This is awesome. I love the concept of them testing out new rules.

Something tells me getting players isnt going to be a problem. Men want to compete, and Ive definitely heard my fair share of inter-mural sports gods at this point. Well now if those dudes think they got what it takes, they can just show up and try out. I'll bet some will play regardless of the $1000.

This is right on. If I could play semi professionally I would. It's not at the top level but still fun

This might be a good way to develop talented young players that didn't get drafted but that's about it.

Players that couldn't hack it in the league can't rely on $1,000 a week because $52,000 ain't going to feed the kids, support the wife, pay for the house, water, electricity, and taxes etc.

What's the question?

If you're taking care of yourself $52K is more than enough. If you're trying to take care of a wife, two kids, a house, car, bills, etc...

Good luck... and enjoy paying house and car payments til your 80.

Not to mention, there are safer jobs where you can get paid $700 a week.

Median household income is $51,000. That's household not individual.

Those statistics are eschewed due to single people living by themselves working at McDonald's/gas stations/ food lion etc...

My guess is that most people that have career on this site make over 52K a year and their job isn't near as dangerous as playing football for $1,000 a week.

Didn't they already try this with the xfl?
