Dwayne Johnson’s XFL Sets Football R&D Pact With NFL

The pact calls for the leagues to collaborate on player health and safety initiatives and efforts to 'expand the game of football.'

It makes sense to work with the NFL and recognize they are never likely to usurp the NFL's dominance in the sports landscape. There is just too much history and too much money involved for any other football league to compete at this point.

However, it would be nice to see something like the XFL find a developmental role for both players and technology (ie video assistant ref), possibly rules that make their way to improving the NFL. Probably a pipe dream, but it would be nice to see.

I'd like to see the XFL stay independent of the NFL. NO I don't mean compete with the NFL

I like the Rock but he may as well throw his money in a river. Guess he's got plenty of it.

Not sure why they keep trying to revive the xfl. Third time is a charm i guess

The Rock is a clout chasing bitch. The more he tries to be relevant the more I can't stand him.

Guess his ex-boss gave him a good deal and looks like his ex-wife had some say in it as well.
