The XFL unlike the other league that was being start, was actually in the black (not by much).. honestly wonder if the virus hadn't killed the season how well it would have done long term.

So months ago when everything became racist and fkkk whitey started, I had this discussion with a black (can I say that, I just did) gentleman, and specifically asked if the phrase "in the black" would still be considered acceptable? he informed me he had never heard that phrase and I told him it is common knowledge and that it was a huge positive when discussing business and finances vs. "in the red" which I said we probably could not use anymore. So I hope that the phrase "in the black" will be allowed to stay in the mainstream since it is a positive connotation, but we will have to wait on a ruling from the higher court of that persuasion.

Spring football will always fail, the USFL came along at a perfect time with ESPN and ABC wanting programming, and even that died in 3 years.

It didn't fail due to it being Spring, they had good tv contracts and after the first year were starting to make a profit, until two new owners broke the agree upon structure and the NFL broke laws to wreck the league (USFL won the case in federal court) to make force networks to not work with the league.
