Former NFL players form new league, the FFL

[Lummy]

[The announcement] "follows two years of dedicated work and financial investment from a coalition of 50 former players. These early owners and founders of the FFL include former NFL star and Heisman trophy winner Ricky Williams; Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens; two-time Super Bowl Champion tight end Byron Chamberlain; three-time Pro-Bowl defensive end Simeon Rice; four-time NFL Pro-Bowl quarterback Jeff Garcia; Super Bowl Champion and MVP defensive back Dexter Jackson; and many others. The league is designed to attract football players at their highest level of athletic ability, including those defecting from the NFL, graduating college or high school or playing in international or alternative professional football leagues.

The same way the AFL originally did

Former quarterback Jeff Garcia is the only white in that mix.

They better have 500 million dollars per team. The NFL of 2108 isn't the NFL of 1960.

So what ? they are starting a new business

And a simple observation becomes racist innuendo. You did it. ...

To cut costs, they will likely bring in foreigners willing to play for much less money. Probably already have a lobby with a view toward that objective. No papers? No problem.

How is it that the Congressional Black Caucus, an exclusively black organ within Congress and public purview, is somehow magically constitutional?

Back then there weren't 30+ teams.

Well, it seems that viewership and stadium goers are down for the NFL. If a new league has any chance, they have to figure out why the NFL is having these problems and fix them in the new league.
