A new (in 2001) professional
American football league created by the company that runs the
World Wrestling Federation.
The teams were:
- [Birmingham Thunderbolts]?
- [Chicago Enforcers]?
- [NY NJ Hitmen]?
- [Orlando Rage]?
- [San Francisco Demons]?
- [Memphis Maniax]?
- [Las Vegas Outlaws]?
- [Los Angeles Xtreme]?
The XFL folded after one season, due to astonishingly poor television ratings (One NBC broadcast receiving the lowest ever market share for a moajor network prime time show).
