St. Louis fielding the new-look XFL’s most popular team was not enough to stop the reimagined professional football league from shuttering due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The global health crisis that cut short the end of the XFL season landed another blow Friday, when the XFL suspended operations and laid off most of its staff without plans to return in 2021.
ESPN was the first to report the news.
The Post-Dispatch confirmed that St. Louis BattleHawks employees were informed they no longer have jobs.
Multiple BattleHawks employees announced on social media that they were looking for new career opportunities.
