It doesn't matter what the XFL's product is like it doesn't compete with the NFL's product until it is in the same time slot.

The XFL's goal is to make a business of filling the void after the NFL season is over. They are hoping to ride the wave of football enthusiasm.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Just not true. It’s can be incredibly stupid to fight the alpha head to head, but if you can develop a loyalty and subvert his followers, you don’t have to.

A kid doesn’t compete with an adult — yet. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a future threat.

Especially with an aging product that’s already stepped in it with its most loyal fans.

I agree that right this minute, no, it’s no competition. But someone else in the kingdom accruing talent and trying to establish a brand should raise a smart king’s eyebrows.
