Players vs NFL

I'd tune in to the makeshift league, because there are some things I'd like the NFL to change. Hopefully if there were to be a makeshift league, they could do it better than the NFL does. Why would I want to tune into replacement players I could tackle.....

 

are you talking about under the current conditions? or just any general given year/season?

 

There's a better chance of the NFL starting up with replacement players than the current players starting up a new makeshift league.

The NFL has everything... stadiums, team facilities, TV deals, etc. On top of that, the NFLPA has disbanded. Correct me if I'm wrong but some players could theoretically just come back and play in the NFL without breaking any union contracts.

The players don't have the experience or funding to start up their own league. They would need to look somewhere else and that would involve creating a new CBA with someone other than the NFL, which would effectively put the players vs. the owners in a do or die fight. I can almost guarantee the owners come out on top. $40 billion can go a long way.

Edit: To answer what I would rather watch... if they could get stadiums, coaching staff, TV deals and reasonable regulations I would obviously rather watch the best players in the world do their thing.

 

I just becomes an uncivilized game of athletes talking all kinds of crap and zero sportsmanship, much like the BS that takes place on the And1 tour or Rucker park. It is not positive, nor does it send the right message to kids, and will always be a makeshift league. There are good players that play in the XFL, UFL and Canadian Football leagues, but it's the owner's behind the success and the NFL shield that wields the power, not the players.

 

The fans make and break a league, i dont care how much money the NFl owners have, if the fans were ready and willing to pay to see a new league then it would work. it's a shame the XFL didnt last long enough due to the fans not tuning in.

With this Lock Out looming several years ago, i dont know why nobody tried to start up a new league, right now would be a perfect time to hit the market.

i would like to see some competition for the NFL.

 

yea i been checking CBS and Fox, i dont see it coming on/.
