Washington has a football team playing for a championship this weekend

This Saturday evening, the XFL will host its championship game in San Antonio, Texas at 8pm in the Alamodome. Washington’s XFL franchise, the DC Defenders, who went 9-1 during the regular season, and are coming off a playoff victory against the Seattle Sea Dragons, are taking on the Arlington Renegades, who had a losing record during the regular season (4-6), but beat the Houston Roughnecks in last week’s playoff game.

This game will be the first championship game in the second incarnation of the XFL (which was originally rolled out in 2001). The game can be watched on ESPN.
