AIFL gets sold off
Well, well. Looks like the American Indoor Football League has a new boss.
A sports marketing company called Greens Worldwide, which apparently still does brisk business making promotional CD-ROMs for college bowl games, announced on Tuesday that it has purchased the assets of the AIFL for an undisclosed (but probably not that big of a) sum. Greens Worldwide bills itself as “a vertically integrated sports marketing and management company,” and it already owns the North American Football League and U.S. Pro Golf Tour, for whatever those are worth.
Greens’ first order of business? Shutting down the AIFL web site, which will likely get a full makeover from one of Greens’ media divisions. Second order of business? Shutting down the Syracuse Soldiers, who were 1-9 and floundering in the AIFL North.
Maybe this company will do some actual marketing for the AIFL next season. The Raleigh Rebels will be lucky if they can get 1,000 people to show up for tonight’s game against the Rome Renegades in The Big Taco…
