I didn’t even realize it was on. I feel like they could use more advertising maybe? Looking at the schedule it’s not the worst, but realistically not gonna spend too many Saturday afternoons watching second tier football and the Sunday games are kinda too early for getting people together.

I'm not subscribing to ESPN to watch it like I do for college football. But yesterday the over-the-air game lined up with some free time, and I enjoyed it.
It got me thinking about the potentials for local markets like minor leagues and college already does. I would get ESPN to watch a local team, especially if they had former players from my college or if they might be pulled in for an NFL team.
If they have a good streaming option that doesn't require extra money it would help. I also don't know when the games are, which is a bigger issue. There's absolutely a possibility for a second league to work as an extra chance for marginal players to make the nfl, older or partially recovered nfl vets, and a place for the not quite good enough to play.
No team is near me, so I said to myself “I’ll give it a chance and root for the team with the best logo.” But then the teams were revealed and every single one of the logos is terrible.
Is this superficial and dumb? Absolutely. But I haven’t paid attention since.
I saw the Houston Roughnecks vs the DC Defenders. I thought the Roughnecks decked out in Red, White, and Blue was way too pandering. But also, it encourages every team to do the same to pander to the masses. And before you know it, every team is rocking RWB to show how much they love America. Total chaos.
And to make it all worse, they were playing against a team from the Capitol. If anyone should have RWB, it should be the DC Defenders. But they took the high road and chose traditional colors. Fuck the Roughnecks. The Defenders is my team (unless I arbitrarily decide a different team is my team later).
Thats what I did. I supported the Seattle Dragons, but they didn't make the merger. Now I support DC.
