Definitely, I cant believe that people still try to come up with leagues to compete with the NFL.

Everyone knows that the NFL looks to the CFL for guidance and support. You just know that there are all these owners in the off season going to CFL games and admiring them.

I think they played 4 games???? lol
I wish Vince had asked ME before he spent all of that money.
He messed with ALOT of people and their careers with that fiasco. Alot of people lost their jobs. And many of them had left other companies to jump on board with that mess.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
arena football is huge.

PJOasisRule - don't do it. You must wait for ten years after the XFL's passing in order for the shirt to be "ironic" under white person humor law. Wait until that time, and then all will be fine.
"Stuff White People Like"
#50 Irony
February 3, 2008 by clander
White people hate a lot of stuff (white people who vote republican, television, Vin Diesel movies, SUVs, fast food) but every once in a while they turn that hate into sweet irony.
Often times, white people will make a joke about how hard it is to define irony. It’s not that funny, and back in the 1990s people got all upset at Alanis Morrisette for using the term improperly in her song “Isn’t it Ironic?”
But the reason that white people love irony is that it lets them have some fun and feel better about themselves.
The most horrific recent example is Trucker hats, that shockingly went from mainstream in the 80s to Ironic in the early 2000s back to mainstream, at which point they are no longer rare or unique. Once something reaches this stage, irony cannot be restored for 10 years.
Other examples would include white people getting together to have a ‘white trash’ night where they would eat Kentucky Fried Chicken, drink Bud Light and watch Larry the Cable Guy or The Marine. Maybe listen to Kid Rock or P.O.D. These events allow white people to experience things they are supposed to hate, all while feeling better about their own lives, decisions, and cultured tastes.
Occassionally, white people will put an ironic knick knack in their home or apartment such as a “Support our Troops” magnet or a bottle of Mickey’s.
This can be used to your advantage. If you need to appear cool to white people, you just need to pick something that was popular 10+ years ago and put it in a prominent place at your desk or in your home. A C+C Music Factory Cassette, or a “2 Legit 2 Quit” t-shirt would both be acceptable examples.
Also, you might find yourself in conversation where you mention that you like something and there is an awkward silence indicating that it is not cool. In this situation, uou must say “oh yeah, I also like [insert similar things]” and smile, the white people will laugh and all will be well.

1) Great finances. As a single-entity league, there was no debt or dire financial situations to deal with.
2) Fair player salaries that weren't overinflated. $5000 per week for a qb, $3500 per week for a returner/specialist, and $4000 per week for every other position. On those salaries, it would be like Tom Brady or Payton Manning playing for only like $110,000 per year.
3) The cheerleaders. Granted some were fake and plastic-y looking, but there were a few that were smokin' hot.
The only thing that doomed the league was when NBC decided not to air any games for the second season. That started the downfall, and the league shut down after that.
Wikipedia said it only lasted one season

#49 Vintage
February 3, 2008 by clander
The love affair between white people and old stuff literally goes back for hundreds of years. In the older days, it was almost exclusively contained within the realm of furniture. While white people still love antiques, they don’t always fit so well with a modern lifestyle and kitchen.
Beginning in their late teens, white people begin an obsession with finding cool vintage clothing at local thrift shops and Goodwills. Making purchases at these locations address a number of white person needs.
First, it allows them to say “oh, this? I got this shirt at Goodwill for $3.” This statement focuses the attention on the shirt, taking attention away from the $350 jeans and $200 shoes. The white person can then retain that precious ‘indie’ cred.
Secondly, it allows a white person to have something that other white people don’t. This is an important consideration when trying to determine the worth and ranking of white people.
As white people get older, and the opportunities to wear a “Pittsburgh Special Olympics ‘76″ T-shirt diminish, they must move their vintage fetish from clothes to furniture and knick knacks. For a post-30 white person, the mention of a ‘vintage stove’ or ‘vintage card catalog” can send their imaginations racing about how to incorporate it into their current home decor.
By having at least one vintage, unique piece of furniture in a room full of Ikea, white people can still tell themselves that they are unique and cooler than their friends.
When you enter a white person’s home, you should immediately search for anything not made by Ikea, Crate and Barrel or Athropologie. Upon finding such an item, you should ask “where did you get that? It’s really cool.” The white person will then tell you a story about how they acquired it, allowing them to feel cool and giving them a reminder about their fantastic taste.
although I don't consider anything only 7 years old to be vintage.....vintage is at the very least a decade old.....
Well see, you are right. Good eye, Marky Mark. Obviously, you are getting good vibrations here.
See, for "ironic" humor, it must be non-mainstream for at least ten years for other white people to see hte irony and laugh. Therefore, if pjoasisrule buys the shirt, it won't be ironic and won't be funny. Other white people will just think that he is behind the times, loves pro wrestling, and lives in a trailer.
Now for GoingToLukins, she views the shirt as "vintage." To be vintage, you are saying to other white people, "Hey, I am cooler than you because I have this vintage stuff that you don't have." This has nothing to do with humor. Now, as you keenly identified, what is "vintage" has some subjectivity to it, and other white people may not see it as vintage. Again, she may be seen as behind the times, a fan of pro wresting, and a resident of a trailer.
Good call, Marky Mark!
Note: Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch are 10 years past popularity, so therefore your username qualifies as ironic and thus hilarious in white person humor. Any and all other white people who see your username will clearly see the irony of that name on a PJ board and will surely laugh. Well done!
