As quickly as it came, it will apparently go away again: according to Pro Football Talk, the Alliance of American Football — short: AAF — will suspend its operations later today. And while the new league, which is currently in the ninth week of its ten-week-long regular season, will reportedly not yet fold, it certainly looks like that step will be taken sooner rather than later. If those reports therefore hold true, the league will be over soon.
Founded by Charlie Ebersol and ex-NFL executive Bill Polian, the league consisted of eight teams which played their first-ever games over the course of the weekend after the New England Patriots’ victory in Super Bowl 53.
