Vince McMahon, today, announced he was launching a simpler, safer, faster version of football. Games would be about two hours long, fewer penalties, etc.
But it's one announcement (which may have taken one of the few non-NFL marquee names off the board already in Johnny Manziel -- reports vary, though!) which has me thinking HE'S GOING THERE!
Vince McMahon, in today's press conference, said the following, courtesy of 24-7 Sports:
"During a Facebook Live press conference on Thursday afternoon announcing the return of the XFL, WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon said his relaunched professional football league will allow "no criminality whatsoever." McMahon said that even a DUI arrest, a relatively common offense among NFL players, can preclude a player from being signed by an XFL team."If he's serious, he's just created the Whites Only League.
And, don't get me wrong: This is EXACTLY what the White Right who've been on the #NFLBoycott on Twitter have been begging for for at least two years now.
The #NFLBoycott created this second version of the XFL.
Facts are facts: Vince McMahon is a raving lunatic Republican. If you don't think he won't try what is necessary to get his league completely whitewashed, think again.
And, given the league's status as a private entity, an iron-clad no-criminality background check will basically disqualify, BY DESIGN, ALL relevant-level Black players.
And I'll say this now: It's a real roll of the dice to think you might even get 320 players (eight teams, 40-man rosters) of any race to qualify under that criteria and not have to dig to mid-level high school alumni or lower.
