Sports and entertainment are going into hibernation in an effort to help combat the coronavirus, to promote the social distancing tool that is so crucial to help flatten the curve. Every major sports league in the country has suspended operations, as have many leagues of lesser status.
That includes the XFL, which formally announced yesterday that its 2020 season is now over, after having played just five of 10 scheduled weeks of the regular season. By and large, they appeared to be in much better shape than the AAF was a year ago.
They have already stated that there will be a 2021 season, and that players will be paid their full salaries for the 2020 season.
