The players and coaches better get their cash up front. I do mean cash not Trump coins.
Will Trump ruin this iteration of America, I mean, the USFL again? I bet that he wish he hadn’t spent that $1 settlement all in one place. And spare me the “but, Biden” nonsense, cause I don’t care about your thoughts. “In August 1984, the USFL voted to move from a spring to a fall schedule in 1986 to compete directly with the NFL. This was done at the urging of New Jersey Generals majority owner Donald Trump and a handful of other owners as a way to force a merger between the leagues. As part of this strategy, the USFL filed an antitrust lawsuit against the National Football League in 1986, and a jury ruled that the NFL had violated anti-monopoly laws. However, in a victory in name only, the USFL was awarded a judgment of just $1, which under antitrust laws, was tripled to $3.[2] This court decision effectively ended the USFL’s existence. The league never played its planned 1986 season, and by the time it folded, it had lost over US$163 million (over $389 million in 2021 dollars).”
