This is a different game. Literally and figuratively. This same discussion comes up every single time a new football league comes about. Not just a Vince McMahon-run one.
Again, in wrestling sure a second promotion starting up is great. In American sports it doesn't work. The whole "Americana" thing is football. White America watch the NFL.
They're not going seriously going to switch over to XFL 2.0 because they stand for the anthem or some other bogus crap. All those people that "swore off" the NFL because of the kneeling have either come back to watch or never left in the first place. They won't jump over and watch far crappier talent just because they hold the American flag between plays.
