Nah, I can't see it to be honest.

Vince not wanting something controversial to help sell tickets?

Irrational mark out for a player from my alma mater.

@Trent Buschetta I’m fairly certain that name is made up. I saw it in Cornellverse.

Wasn't it literally part of the XFL's start-up pitch that players would be forced to respect the national anthem, or somesuch?

Exactly. Perfect heel storyline.

Vince would bend over backward to get Kaepernick and the controversy it’d bring. But I doubt  Kaepernick wants to play in this “league”.

[MDK]

Was there ever any talk of him playing in Europe? Not as much money but it would have been a coup to get such a player.

[Meacon Keaton]

Probably not. He seemed to very much be “NFL starter or bust” mindset.

Happy XFL draft day!

[The Buscher]

The countdown to Vince losing so much money he has to sell WWE is on! 

[Maxx]

QBs have been assigned

[Meacon Keaton]

[Maxx]

Battlehawks and Roughnecks already showing votes of no confidence in their assigned QBs by drafting backups early

Corey Vereen quits the league after learning that the starting base pay is only $27,000.

“How are you going to sit here and get all these people together and try to get the best talent for your league and pay them $27,000?” Vereen said. “I love the game. But I’m not going to be taken advantage of at the end of the day. I have an engineering degree. I’m a software developer. My current job makes more than that. I’m not doing that, unfortunately. It looked like a great opportunity.”

 

[GhostMachine]

Makes sense to me. Why bust your ass playing and risk getting hurt for a lot less than you can make if you've got a college degree?
