So apparently there's this new league starting next year. Some of the planned rules.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliance_of_American_Football
I don't know why they just don't play flag football. The Nancy Football League is basically trying to capitalize on the hyper sensitivity of injuries. A football league where everyone wears a giant sumo costume would be more entertaining. In fact early rumors suggest that this new league might be so soft the only pads anyone might need are maxipads. They're shooting for the soy boy crowd with this one.
And so far it looks like all the teams will be named Alliance lol. So far they got Alliance Atlanta, Alliance Memphis, and Alliance Orlando. Seems rather pointless to me. And as reported in the Viking Tidbit thread, Brad Childress (Atlanta) and Steve Spurrier (Orlando) are the first 2 coaches. A few of the execs were former XFL execs. Getting a jump on the new XFL which doesn't start until 2020.
Haha interesting, a communist football league. All the alliance names makes sense now. Yep, it's like they're targeting a certain demographic xD. The end zones will be called sanctuary zones and instead of being used to score points, it's where you can run when you need to talk about your feelings. They won't keep track of scoring at all. Everyone will getjuice and cookies soy vitamin water and gluten free celery sticks after every game, and everyone will be declared the champion at the end of the season when they all finish 10-0.

- Teams will have 50 players on each roster, with some selected by a territorial draft.[4]
- Telecasts will feature no television timeouts and 60 percent fewer commercials, with the league aiming for an approximate real-time game length of 150 minutes, down from just over 180 in the NFL.[4][3]
- All teams must attempt two-point conversions after each touchdown; there will be no extra point kicks.[3]
- There will be no kickoffs; all possessions will begin on each team's own 25-yard line, the same as touchbacks in the NFL and NCAA. The team on defense can keep the ball, in lieu of an onside kick, by attempting a scrimmage play from their own 35-yard line and gaining at least 10 yards.[3][1]
- The play clock will run only 30 seconds, 10 seconds shorter than in the NFL.[3]
- Two coach's challenges per team are the only replays.[3]
- Outside organizations will handle head-safety protocols.[7]

The league will operate as a single entity, with all teams owned and operated by the league
