Re: Armanti TD
The CFL is a 100+ year old league with a long storied history of stable teams with established fan bases. It’s got a crop of great players, many of which have gone on to excellent NFL careers. The XFL has a long way to go to reach its caliber.
I think a lot of college guys that don’t make the NFL go into the CFL thinking it’ll be a cakewalk because it’s Canada. They are rudely awakened. My understanding is that, at least among those that have played in the league, it is perceived as very good professional football only surpassed by the NFL.

Re: Armanti TD
Players may wish to play in US despite the tradition. It will be interesting to see how it shakes out.ah59396 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2019 9:38 pmThe CFL is a 100+ year old league with a long storied history of stable teams with established fan bases.

Re: Armanti TD
Oh most definitely. Many chose the Alliance of American Football league over the CFL, I’m sure.Saint3333 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2019 9:47 pmPlayers may wish to play in US despite the tradition.

But, like every other league before it, it died a quick expensive death. Much like the XFL V 2.0 will probably do.
I’m always curious to see if the stability of the CFL is an attractive draw for these players.
