I wish I could say the failure of XFL had to do with people realizing how mind-bogglingly stupid it was, but really it just comes down to people were already dedicated to watching NFL thank you very much.

Wait, I believe that last bit, even as a sports fan. That's why I like sport. It lets me get away from my real life and sit back for a few hours, yell at my TV, and feel happy when my team scores.

--- Quote from: Tommydski ---Actually this is a common error. Spectators are the team. Everybody else involved with the team is transitory. Football teams regularly change hands, managers, coaching staff, players and sponsors. The fans are always the fans. Everybody at the club works for the fans. The players of Leeds United are playing for my team and indirectly I pay their wages.

I just feel that this exchange didn't get the full ammount of attention that it deserved. Hilarious. Good show!
