Because the xfl already made a rule prohibiting kneeling for the anthem and disrespecting the flag.Seems to me that the NFL just wants the issue to die. The attention around the kneeling has finally subsided and the media has stopped pushing the subject. Why stir the pot again?
As for the XFL, why would you want to watch a bunch of 2nd tier players who were not good enough to get on an NFL team?
I’m not supporting a bunch of cucks that hate America.
