As far as Indoor football goes I think it was an awesome idea from the get go. At least as far as offical AFL is concerned the talent and excitement is definately there. The nets and the rules make it definately interesting. Happen to watch the Georgia Force play the 9-1 Philadelphia Soul last week? Plenty of excitement and a great ending. Case and point as to why the league has been around since the eighties. Since the 80's! Do the math that was 2 decades ago. Thats pretty incredible given how long NFL Europe was around not to mention USFL, WFL, etc. Don't get me wrong I still love the NFL but I also am a Football Fan-a-tic. Arena is just a fun league and deserves much more credit than it gets. Are you familiar with Kurt Warner (ex- Iowa Barnstormers quarterback). I think he won a superbowl with a team known as The St Louis Rams. Sorry but it just galls me when the league gets treated like a joke. As I've said everyones got an opinion. Mine just happens to be different than yours might be. I happen to be a season ticket holder and faithfully watch my team win or lose but at $60 and higher per NFL game Arena is definately more affordable family entertainment. Isn't that what its all about? Since Arena has about 100,000 fans per week (about 2 million a season) and a great ownership base I think its destined to be around for quite a long time. Give it a chance and you might just become a fan yourself. Thanks. Daryl Rossi Canandaigua, N.Y. 14424 P.S. It sure beats watching baseball-at least it doesn't put you to sleep.

I seriously think you should take off with that idea yourself. You might just have the cure for America's soccer doldrums.......but if you won't, I'll take that idea off your hands. Oh, and I agree. Unless they're af2 or the UIF, I dont think a sport as young as Arena Football should be copied. I like your thinking. I seriously think you should take off with that idea yourself.

All of these franchises have sell outs, and are not going anywhere. Football at all levels is "America's Game." Even the untouchable NFL has about three dozen defunct franchises in its 80 plus years. Soccer is for girls, and American fans no it!

Got up to get a beer ahead by 2 touchdowns, got back to my seat and was 17 points down. Better than watching my Lions struggle to score a field goal. Arena football is not all bad.
