Seriously, split back into the NFL/AFL

[Highlandfire]

Now no monopoly legally. The owners of the TWO leagues can just vie over college athletes as they come out of school, Screws us with no draft though. But then each league could negotiate out TV contracts and now implement labor laws the way the rest of us have with limits on each position. No more anti trust bull poo.

Bull poo. The game would be better with twice the games played on Sunday or whenever

Each league has a championship. Instead of the probowl, each team have its all stars play each other. That would make big money :D

It's gonna be ok. Some deep breaths. Calm down. Maybe, google the word "pornography" and have some fun with that for a while.

Meanwhile, I just went down to the stadium yesterday and plopped down my $$$ for my season tickets. They were more than happy to take my money so that means there will be a season.......

I like the idea personally. Most likely there would still be some kind of regular season games between the 2 (something along the lines of 3-4 games) it would also allow the individual leagues to go up to 20 teams each. 1 of the new teams must come from another country. 1 of which should definitely be Mexico City the other would probably have to be in America maybe a Canadian City.

The only problem with the idea is the Salary Cap issue. I think what has made the NFL so popular is the unpredictability of it. I mean one year a team could go 7-9 and miss the playoffs the next they could win the SB. If the league did split I don't see how they could have one unless it was only in name two different leagues. That would be collusion I would think.

Either way its not going to happen.

This is how they run soccer all over the world and it works for that sport but I think soccer is a lot larger internationally. If you split the leagues I think you would water down the talent level. I like watching Peyton Manning v. Tom Brady. If your scenario played out these types of match-ups would never happen.

Your worst idea yet.

why exactly would there be twice the games played??

hell, a lot of people who have said this could happen have said it would lead to constriction because the smaller market teams would no longer get the same amount of revenue from revenue sharing, causing them to go belly up in a system where you NEED to spend more to be competitive.

Horrible idea that will never work, make the sport less appealing, and will cause more disturbance and issues between the two "leagues."
