Age isn't an issue when you only got 5 teams, at this point. Maybe they'll squeeze in Newark to make it six again. Tampa Bay really is an island unto itself.

I don't think Newark will work, since Trenton's already got a team close by, the Jersey Flight, in the NAL. Granted, that team will probably either fold after one year, or not even make the field, since the owners are already fundraising for that team.

The Tampa Bay Storm announced today that they will be suspending operations (folding).
The Last of the Original Four, gone. The only remaining remnants of the Original AFL is the Philadelphia Soul.

So, by the way it sounds, the AFL could be playing without a CBA this season.
One more nail in the coffin?

So today, in a Facebook group, one of my friends who knows the sport way better than I do, broke the news that the CIF won their injunction against the Bloomington Edge and the West Michigan Ironmen. The injuction was set into place after the Edge and Ironmen left the CIF for the IFL, but had already signed League Affiliation Agreements with the CIF.
I'm beginning to wonder why I even follow this sport anymore....

And on Friday, the reports are going around that the Omaha Beef fired their head coach and are possibly releasing their entire roster.

So I've been hearing through the grapevine that by Friday, we could possibly be seeing the death of the Arena Football League......again.

Indoor football has become such a sideshow attraction that it's best for it to stay dead. Don't get wrong; I loved the Firebirds when they were around, and if the situations we're ideal, I'd support. But because it's such a vanity project nowadays, with corruption and underhanded tactics, it's something to just forget. Maybe down the road, demand and people involved will be just right. Now? Not as much.

Not as much. As long as corruption is around, I don't see indoor/arena football getting any better than it is now. Hell, the IFL and CIF were gonna merge last fall, but the Arizona Rattlers decided to screw that all up by being assholes, and bribing Bloomington and West Michigan to breach their LAAs and leave, causing the entire mess.
