It’s tough, if not impossible, for a sport to attain success out of season. Baseball gets the summer, football the fall and winter, basketball the winter and spring. For a new league to find a season, the calendar has to be enlarged.
The Alliance of American Football begins play Feb. 9, 2019. That’s six days after Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta. So the new league won’t have to search for new fans. It will have to give football fans a reason to hang on when the NFL season ends.
I don’t know if there’s room for the AAF.
