A new pro football league? We have been down this road before

Since the National Football League (NFL) began operations in 1920, there have been a multitude of rival professional football leagues that have come and gone. Recently, it was announced that yet another would begin operations.

“Pacific Pro Football League” is an association designed to pay its players, but also on the drawing board are very specific conditions and purpose: to give a certain category of player the opportunity that currently does not exist.

Presently, there were six pro football leagues in operation for 2016. This new league states its focus is not on the players who continue to play that cannot make the roster of an NFL, Canadian Football League (CFL) or an Arena Football club.
