Trent Richardson, second chances, and the AAF
The Alliance of American Football is off to a decent start in its inaugural season.
There has been some good, some bad, and some mixed. There was the need for an emergency infusion of cash in Week Two. Cash flow issues are not unexpected in a new venture, but the $250 million much-needed infusion was a PR hit to the league. Still, that did have an upside: the involvement of a competent professional owner. Tom Dundon of the Carolina Hurricanes has now been appointed as the AAF commissioner and has been given a tremendous stake in the league. A steady hand familiar with niche interest sports and his deep pocketbook may be what helps the league weather the storm for a few seasons.
