The only competition would be in off-season merchandise sales to the NFL that limited disposable income of consumers might spend on the XFL.

As so far as a future threat, HISTORY (for those who understand its importance to study, get it right) shows that if anything, should the XFL be viable, we'll see a merger of new markets and adoption of new rules...

The future is what I’m getting at, considering the growing age of the NFL’s fanbase, the growing specter of refs fixing games, the growing female support (but also the domestic violence problem), the anthem issues, etc etc, it’s not completely out of the question that the NFL could be vulnerable.

All that being said, I don’t know the motivations of the XFL, so I can’t say for certain what the really intend other than a spring league for castoffs to get more exposure and possibly sign with an NFL team in the future.
