For the second straight season, a spring football league has failed to finish their inaugural season. Well, in the XFL’s case, that inaugural season was technically their second, but it was their first since 2001 and they had a completely new directive after that failed endeavor.
This time around, the league wasn’t killed by ratings or poor play. Instead, the coronavirus pandemic has caused the sporting world to shut down. And with it, the XFL has cancelled the rest of their regular season but is planning on returning in 2021, as of this point.
That said, it will likely be with a different player pool.
