theory: the xfl and aaf will merge
vince and charlie's dad, did XFL together. in the espn xfl documentary, they talk about starting up another league. fast forward to today these two families will be running competing leagues.
so now both can do their own thing, create their own buzz. if people still don't take the xfl seriously, they have the aaf. if fans feel the aaf is just nfl jr, maybe they xfl will be up their alley. either way, there are options now. for both the fans and players.
anyways, this all leads to both leagues joining forces, combining teams and players together. in which creates a legit competitor or at least a legit #2 football league in America. it won't happen overnight but I see this being the bigger picture.
