These Celebs & Athletes Are Digging the New XFL…
The XFL is in the midst of its first weekend and it’s going over great. A ton of fans showed up to support the revamped league, and they’re seriously getting involved with the play on the field. I’m not sure of the TV ratings yet but I’m sure they’re going to be pretty respectable. With the support of the two major networks and local fans, I think this league is going to work.
I spoke with a fan at the Capitals game on Saturday who had just attended the DC Defenders home opener and he said he was surprised how fun the atmosphere was. He even brought his DC Defenders shield (promo giveaway) to Capital One Arena for the hockey game.
Plenty of other people feel the same way, including a bunch of celebrities and sports figures — check ’em out!

The first half of the LA-Houston XFL game was everything the XFL wanted to be. It was fast with lots of scoring and the new rules all came into play. The fox broadcast feels NFL Adjace with Curt on the call. I really dig the product so far.

I’m really proud and happy for the XFL and all of the coaches , players, front office executives and people who work the games. I thought they did a nice job in their first weekend. I root for people’s success and this just means more jobs and opportunities for more people 👍👍
