UFL suspends 2012 season

[argolio]

A few players may have (quite reasonably) preferred to play closer to home rather than attend a CFL camp, but I still maintain the CFL was unaffected. We didn't lose any key players, and the U.S. produces more prospects than one extra league can absorb

It occurs to me that there doesn't seem to be much logic in starting a new league in this day and age. The NFL is so massive financially that it's now almost impossible for another AFL or USFL to try to compete directly with the NFL. And the NFL's massive popularity makes it difficult for a smaller league to find enough of an audience to succeed.

Agreed on both points. That's why it will be good when Ottawa comes back, 53 more football jobs. Heck, if they're run like Edmonton, 80 more football jobs.
