Arena Football League relaunching with 16 teams in 2024
- Thread starter MMC
- Start date
A few teams that may have ambitions of joining the IFL or the NAL in the future might stick it out. Everybody else is going to fold up shop in short order.

This looks like the dusk before the dusk.
Gotta feel for the players and staff who fell for this what's looking like a scam dressed in nostalgia.

I am not surprised about these teams being the ones having no money whatsoever. Georgia had no cash for home games so they would effectively be a traveling team and we're forced to travel across the country to Oregon, Louisiana is a tire fire, and Minnesota expected Hutton to come by with cash directly and he never did.
8 teams or more could fold as soon as tomorrow, the NFL Network deal is dead (the AFL was supposed to pay 1.5 million dollars for the airtime and simply didn't), players aren't getting paid, several of the venues don't have the proper boards or nets.
Scam from the outset.

As it stands, the AFL was always in the possession of Cryptobros (in this case, HUMBL) and Lee Hutton was the figurehead who thought that the money would come immediately and pay for everything at once.

And as of today, a lawsuit by another indoor league has forced West Texas from playing while insolvency has shut down a bunch of other teams.

Ideal and the real
Lee Hutton sounds familiar. Was he apart of the AAFL? Or am I just mixing up Tom Dundon?

Week 3 to begin and now they're down to 14...or is it 13
The Arenabowl will just be handed out to anyone still operating by then.

And Ron Jaworski.
But now it's staffed with semi pro players that aren't even paid.

Down to 12 teams...I believe.
The Minnesota Myth... we're barley that.

The Minnesota Myth... we're barley that.
Arena Football League's Minnesota Myth, once coached by Rickey Foggie, shut down after two games
Minnesota Myth coach Rickey Foggie resigned last week, and now the team has ceased operations completely.

The arena league was cool back in the late 80's-early 90's. But it serves no purpose now as the NFL itself has turned into the arena league.
