Loves football. Cheap price if he can actually make it work.
shareit's been tried twice before. the nfl is king.
shareThey're not trying to compete with the NFL or even college, but piggyback off from it. 2nd season was 5 weeks and only cut short due to covid. Ratings started out strong then died down. Playoffs might have been interesting and maybe kept it around for a return season if they were good. Some games were good, others bad, but it was nice to keep watching football after the NFL season ended.
shareMaybe he will combine football with wrestling. They can put ropes around the field to keep the players in-bounds, and then they can bounce off the ropes and clothesline the opposing team and stuff like that.
shareActually, this may work out pretty good for him. He’s got investors, so very little of his money is at risk. The NFL has taken steps to make their product unpopular, but Americans still like football. He may make money off this.
