So fans need to send a message to Vince, take the most botched call on a NFL Sunday and sacrifice the Official till the rules and officiating are fixed. Think it would be a great Halftime Show.

The only way something like this has a chance to succeed is if it's an NFL sanctioned farm league, because that will actually interest NFL fans.. Of course that will never happen.
The NFL already has a farm league, it's called the NCAA............and it's free.

Even if it ultimately fails, if the NFL sees something that really works they’ll probably copy it.
The NFL as it currently stands is broken, maybe a little competition will force and pressure them to fix some things they are currently reluctant to.

McMahon was asked by reporters specifically about Johnny Manziel, Colin Kaepernick and Tim Tebow playing in the XFL.
Manziel, the former Texas A&M quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner, had had some legal issues, but his only criminal issue ended in a plea deal that will ultimately result in a dismissal. Kaepernick started the NFL movement to protest during the national anthem, which would not be allowed in McMahon's league. McMahon skirted ther status of both of those players and only specifically referenced Tebow.
"You want someone who does not have any criminality associated whatsoever with them. Even if you have a DUI you will not play in the XFL," McMahon told reporters. "So that will probably eliminate some of them. Not all of them. If Tim Tebow wants to play, he can very well play."

I disagree completely. 2020 is a long way away, but after the politicized shit show the 2017-2018 season turned out to be, I personally welcome this. If nothing else, it will force the NFL to reconsider its deeply pussified system of rules.
