AAF League

[white is right]

Leonardfan, you might be correct. Hagen does have a "unique" look and he definitely comes off as a bit of a whigger.....You Tube has a close up video of him off the field: Jacob Hagen Chess and Football and he does appear to be white. Kind of dorky and whiggerish and perhaps part Native American, but probably white? But I did say probably white, so I'm not 100% sure. I don't think he's black; if he isn't totally white I would say he could be a Sam Bradford type?

As far as white defensive players in the AAF making it to the NFL, San Diego safety Ryan Moeller, San Antonio defensive tackle Winston Craig and Salt Lake linebacker Greer Martini look like they have the best chance. All are fairly young and are among the best in the league. As red raider and Bucky noted in this thread, Moeller and Martini looked great week 1. My guess is older goys like A.J. Tarpley and Davis Tull will probably be deemed too old by the Caste scouts.

Craig is a sumo-like white, who had 1.5 sacks week one. I thought he looked great in pre-season games for the Philadelphia Eagles. Brandon Noble and Kelly Gregg used NFL Europe to get to the NFL a while back. Hopefully Craig gets the same chance. I'm really impressed by him. Kind of reminds me of Beau Allen.

Just found a great link regarding Moeller. Didn't realize how awesome he was in high school, yet this self-described "Rudy" still had to walk-on at Colorado?

Kevin Kaesviharn (Euro-Asian white) made it to the NFL from the XFL; Andrew Sendejo made it to the NFL from the UFL.....I'm hoping Moeller makes it a "hat-track" of white safeties from fringe leagues to NFL starter.

Guys the pencil moustache hasn't been in since the days of Clark Gable and Errol Flynn, these days it seems like it's only whiggers and hardcore black street people and pillow biters have pencil moustaches. http://media2.s-nbcnews.com/j/MSNBC...514-mustache-John-Waters.today-ss-slide-deskt
Of course this known pillow biter has one...

PS Trent Richardson keeps on devolving into a weekend warrior level player, soon he will be playing for free beer and chicken wings as he isn't breaking the running back Mendoza line even in this league.....

Week 2 is in the books. I watched about 15 minutes of each game. Actually, watched a bit more of the Salt Lake game. Anyhow, here are some notes.

We discussed/debated safety Jacob Hagen in this thread. Saturday, he suffered a very serious/gruesome ankle injury on a fake punt run attempt. His season is certainly over. And considering he's a backup in the AAF, it's possible his pro football career is over? AAF teams have territorial rights to players from certain area schools, I would love to see Birmingham replace Hagen with former NFL safety Vinnie Sunseri. Of course, that's assuming Sunseri wants to play football again for a pro-rated 60K the rest of the season, after being "caste aside" by the NFL? My guess is he will not.

Ex-Bengals HC Marvin Lewis was NFLN analyst and was very complimentary towards defensive end Karter Schult, who displayed a nice, retro-Mark Gastineau sack dance twice. Marvin X. repeatedly said he was Salt Lake City's top player. Last week, veteran Caste cuck Dennis Erickson, SLC's head coach, said Karter was the team's MVP week 1. My guess is Schult is probably considered a bit of a "tweener" by NFL types: Too small for defensive end; not fast enough for outside linebacker? Hopefully he continues to impress......but having researched the USFL, my guess is Schult will be a modern day Pete Catan, an ex-CFL star that had 27 sacks over 2 season for the Houston Gamblers, but never got a serious NFL shot due to size concerns.

Speedy safety Micah Hanneman also had a strong game for SLC.

Marvin X. also praised Birmingham defensive end Casey Sayles a few times, comparing him to former Steelers defensive ends he coached against and said gave him "nightmares" -- Aaron Smith and Brett Keisel. That's some nice praise. Surprised he didn't mention nose tackle Chris Hoke to make it a Whitey "hat-trick"? I'd be surprised if Sayles is not signed by an NFL team after the AAF season.

San Antonio's Winston Craig, I believe, is best white defensive player in this league that has quite a few standout white defenders. In yesterday's game he was fantastic - another sack, multiple-pressures and a total monster stopping the run. Steve Spurrier's team couldn't run the ball at all for three quarters. Eventually the vested Caste stooge Spurrier finally figured out in the forth quarter his Apollos had to run away from the 24 year-old Craig (running wide right) and were able to gain big yards. As I noted prior, I was really impressed with Craig in pre-season for Philadelphia last two years. Had Chip Kelly been around, no way would Craig have been relegated to practice squads, as he was with Stanley Roper (aka Jim Schwarz) running the Eagles defense.

At 6'6" and 300 pounds, former Michigan defensive tackle Matt Godin looks like an NFL prospect for San Antonio. Godin is also receiving positive press for his season, thus far, playing on the same line as Craig. At 24, I'd be surprised if he was not signed by an NFL team after the AAF season. Whether he can make a team in the racist, Caste league, is a different question? Just based on physical appearence alone (height, weight, strength), I bet he'd have been at least a 4th round NFL pick, if he was black part time starter at Michigan. Godin was signed by the Texans after the 2018 draft, but immediately cut due to a ACL tear.

In the Memphis/Arizona game not much to report. The Express took a page from Jack Del Rio's 2017 Raiders and had an all-sumo offensive line (starters and backups) that struggled to protect NFL bust Christian Hackenburg. The usually "robotic" and "stoic" Hackenburg, actually showed some fire for a change -- repeatedly losing his temper near games end. I wonder if the affletes where lining up in the wrong spots or the mostly AA coaching staff was screwing up play selection at crunch time?

And it was nice to see all the empty seats in Memphis for a pretty much all black team, outside the quarterbacks and two white receivers that did nothing week 2....Finally caught a glimpse of linebacker Phil Wright (aka Scooby) for Arizona, who as a college junior, some projected as a future first round pick. He basically did nothing, after being inactive week 1, but has added several green tattoos on his arms. My guess is if Phil wants to continue to play pro ball, AAF or XFL are much more likely than the NFL or even CFL.

San Diego safety Ryan Moeller had another fine week, collecting his 2nd pick of the season -- both on deflections. Wide receiver Nelson Spruce, who really struggled week 1 with childhood friend/teammate Mike Bertovicci (sp?) throwing to him, had a strong game with Phil Nelson slinging the Duke....although a key 4th quarter fumble did end his night on a sour note.

As far as white running backs/tailbacks in this league, don't hold your breath thinking "fringe whites" will ever get a chance in the AAF. Simply put, as has been the case in the NFL for well over 30 years, they are not welcome. Mulatto's, however, clearly are accepted at running back. Toby Gerhart might've been allowed and Zach Zenner, had he not resigned with the Lions at the end of the 2018 season. Simply put, any white running back would have to have played at least one full season in the NFL to ever get a look in this fringe league. Perhaps if Senior Bowl star Tyler Varga from Yale, who retired due to concussion fears, after making the Colts opening day roster in 2015 decided to pull a A.J. Tarpley and return to football, he might be considered...as a fullback?

One white running back I really think could've realistically played in this league and allowed to run the ball some is Aaron Ripkowski. He ran well for the Packers in 2016 when he was moved away from blocking fullback for a short span. Aaron recently signed a futures contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he will no doubt be screwed over by fat-bastard Andy Reid -- only allowed to block for the "real affletes", assuming he even makes the team over the Chiefs current white (blocking only) fullback, who played in the Pro Bowl. If the Chiefs cut Ripkowski, will be interesting to see if he tries to make one these fringe leagues as a Mike Alstott type, or refuses to abuse his body and brain for less than 90K per season?

The template for the is league is the same as the NFL as mulatto players will be considered for cornerback and tailback. Just seeing how mulatto players are given shots at cornerback, easily demonstrates that there is clear scouting bias against White/non Blacks at this position.

 

[Leonardfan]

Not to be a kill joy but I also believe that Winston Craig is a mystery meat/light skinned black.

It’s nice to hear carter schult and Godin are both performing well though.

 

[Bucky]

Ah Craig looks similar to Packers Guard Lane Taylor. He may be mixed. Good DL nonetheless.

 

[Truthteller]

Bucky, look at Lane Taylor's kinky/short-cropped nappy black hair, that resemble rows of Ramen Noodles. Right off the bat, you can see he's mixed. There is very little doubt Taylor is black to me. Winston has straight (Caucasian) blonde hair -- almost Nordic....look at the second photo I just posted. No doubt Winston is white in #2, just my opinion.

Plus, Craig was a huge FCS star as a senior, measured like a prototypical NFL defensive tackle (6'4", 300) and ran a impressive (for his size) 5.00/40....If he was black or mixed he would've been drafted...and probably top three rounds?

Here's another, better photo of Craig:

______________
Bump to add Two Stories:

The Arizona club just added a former CFL defensive end from the Toronto Argonauts, who appears to be white. Like Winston Craig, he has a straight hairline and whigger style facial hair (goatee)?

Texas billionaire/owner of bottom-feeding NHL franchise invests $250 million in AAF. All players in the league combined make about $40 to $45 million per year (about $5 mil per team). This cash infusion pretty much assures AAF will not fold after this season.

Week 3 is in the books and the league seems to just be getting worse on the field. In the stands, tons of empty seats, which is nice to see and a total F-You to Jeff Pearlman types who have concocted some sort of bizarre fantasy that the USFL was a thriving league, but was simply destroyed by Donald Trump. Living in a strange Kosher Fantasy land, they insist a spring league (USFL), full of NFL rejects, not only would have survived the 1980's, but would still be going strong today if not for President Trump. These crazy, nut-sack trolls don't seem to realize the reality: The only reason the USFL had a any "tangible success" was due to the galaxy of big money stars they poached away from the NFL. But that same "galaxy of big money stars" eventually folded the USFL, as the salaries exceeded revenue.

http://www.jeffpearlman.com/one-mans-letter-to-donald-trump/

Every time I see AAF stadiums full of empty seats, I see it as a dump in the face of Jeff Pearlman and others like him who spread lies. Lies, again, being a well run spring league full of low-budget scrubs could be a huge success and fill stadiums all over North America. Pearlman also lies using the Tampa Bay Bandits as an example of a "low budget" USFL team thriving and filling stadiums in the spring. That's a Tampa team that signed the San Diego Chargers' first round pick (RB Gary Anderson) and a ex-NFL backup quarterback that was a huge star for the Florida Gators, and others. Would be like a current AAF team signing Todd Gurley and Tim Tebow to big contracts, then claiming to be a "low budget" outfit.


On the field week 3:

Only watched less than 5 minutes of the basically all black Atlanta-Birmingham game. Atlanta Legends, as expected, had a small crowd (10,000) in a scaled down college stadium. It was their first game in Georgia, hopefully crowds will continue to dwindle! Only saw a few plays, but one stuck out to me. Birmingham quarterback Tim Perez (who bares a strong resemblance to ex-Yankee Andy Pettitte) throws a easy ball to a wide open receiver and he dropped it. Heck, even 88 year old "Legend"/Voice of CNN James Earl Jones (team is named for black Georgia born/based "Legends") could've hauled that soft spiral in and had a easy first down...At that point Adam Archuleta, the CBS analyst, says something like this: The alarming number of drops of easy catches has been a huge problem in this league so far. Gee, I wonder why all the "drops"?

The somewhat more white friendly Salt Lake team also debuted in front of it's fans and the crowd was dreadful (10,000) on a cold day. Kater Schult had another sack and continues to lead the league with 4. Greer Martini looked awesome this week. No doubt he's a starting NFL player, except wrong skin color. Former Connecticut Huskies star Luke Carrezola finally got to play on defense and responded with 1.5 sacks in the 4th quarter, facing Arizona's 3rd string sumo. For whatever reason, starting safety Micah Hanneman did not play?

Wide receiver Nelson Spruce, who really struggled week 1 with childhood friend Mike Bercovici at quarterback , had another strong game with 4/50/2 TD's. Former NFL linebacker A.J. Tarpley also had a very strong game, with a pick six and a key tackle for a 5 yard loss. In the stands, crowd was miserable. Announced at 14,600 but seemed even worse....Must have been like a throwback to the mid-70's, when a young Dave Winfield led a terrible San Diego Padres team that almost moved to Washington D.C. due to poor attendance, only to be saved by the founder of McDonald's who changed the uniforms to an ugly cheese-burger color scheme......I wonder if Jeff Pearlman was among that crowd?

Winston Craig, after two great weeks, was fairly quite. Hopefully it was just an aberration. Former Iowa State quarterback Joel Lanning had another strong game at linebacker. Former NFL quarterback Zach Mettenberger finally replaced a struggling Christian Hackenburg and was terrific. Expect him to start going forward?

 

[Leonardfan]

Thanks for these summaries Truthteller. I have just been reading bits here and there. Weenieworld seems to be delighted that Hackenberg struggled and try to paint the narrative of him being some sort of all time bust. The same narrative they use for white players while ignoring the exponentially larger list of black busts. I feel badly for Hackenberg who looked like a true franchise QB as a freshman at PSU the year prior to James Franklin arriving and basically destroying the kid due to bad play calling and o-line play.

I always felt Mettenberger should of remained in the NFL. Glad to see he is doing well. Joel Lanning should of been drafted last year. Same can be said of Schult and Martini.

 

[Extra Point]

In spite of its caste dimensions I think this league will be good for white players. Many of them will get opportunities to prove themselves they would not have otherwise gotten.

I actually watched a bit of a game while on a cardio machine for about 20 minutes and I noticed the coaching seemed more like a developmental league. Mike Martz calmly talked to his qb and no coaches seemed to be chain chewing gum or have the stressed out look that many have in the NFL. I also noticed that rotation of players seemed more like pre-season games than in the NFL regular season. Did anybody notice this?

Thanks Leo, glad it helps. Wish there were more white players to report on. Must point out that Hackenberg had a 2017 Oakland Raiders-like all-sumo line -- starters and backups all black. He struggled again and Mettenberger almost saved the game, with a pair of 4th quarter TD's. Given Zach's size and ability, he has a good chance to use this league to get back to the NFL -- if he can continue to impress....Martini looked real impressive -- big time athletic pick. It's hard to believe he's even in the AAF at all.

In spite of its caste dimensions I think this league will be good for white players. Many of them will get opportunities to prove themselves they would not have otherwise gotten.

I agree EP and don't forget, they make decent money. Not NFL money, but much better than most 23 to 30 year olds would make elsewhere for 5 months work......On one hand I root for the whites in the league and enjoy tracking them....But the racial demographics are so depressing (worse than the NFL?), that it's great to see teams like the Atlanta Legends play in front of empty stadiums. In other words, I'm glad white fans are shunning most of these teams.

WIR, I did not watch much last weekend. But in the first two weeks I did notice it. It does have a bit of a "little league" feel to it, were everyone gets to play and coaches do not seem overly stressed to win. The steady rotation's helps whites like Colton Jumper and Chase Dutra, who might be relegated to special teams only in the NFL. However, this probably wont help the few really talented whites at Caste positions (i.e. Nelson Spruce) pad their stats to impress NFL teams.

Thanks TT for the weekly updates. Your posts are both informative and humorous. If not for this thread, I’d have no clue about anything AAF related.

 

[Truthteller]

Tarpley’s name is shocking to me considering he called it quits after one year because of concussions. I wonder what changed? And if he wanted to play football again no NFL team would give him a tryout? He had some good tape from a solid rookie season in Buffalo.

PHillis, this is a recent, in-depth article that could answer your first question: https://www.cbssports.com/aaf/news/...wall-street-and-back-isnt-done-with-football/

Why no NFL team wanted him when he decided to play again? Perhaps they would've if A.J. stood for "Artis Jefferson" or "Anfernee Jarvoni" or something similar?

Thanks TT for the weekly updates. Your posts are both informative and humorous. If not for this thread, I’d have no clue about anything AAF related.

Thanks, Freethinker.

By the way, in my week 3 wrap up post I mentioned the poor attendance at 3 of 4 games last weekend. Did not find figures for Orlando until today. It was barely over 20,000 for the second time this year. Not bad. San Antonio and Orlando are the only two teams that draw fairly well, thus far -- but not even close to better USFL figures.

Here is, by far, the best highlight from the Memphis/Orlando game (and the entire AAF season) last Saturday and it's going "viral": Dog sets an all-time record in Frisbee toss/catch? Too bad "cannon armed freaks" Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray did not toss the plastic disc.....would've been cool to see if the dog could have gone for over 100 yards?

https://twitter.com/JCCarnz/status/1099555482270945280/video/1

P.S. The dog was at the goal line after the 6 second mark. Reached the 40 yard line at 9 seconds. That's a 3.o/40 yard dash or better?

Another point about Jeff Pearlman (check post #33), who 19 years ago wrecked the career of the Atlanta Braves closer (Rocker) with a SI article that overnight turned him into the worlds biggest racist and public enemy number one in America. Pearlman also destroyed the reputation of Walter Payton, who until this day the NFL markets as a Paragon of Virtue.

For the last year, Pearlman's been going around trying to sell a bull$hit book claiming President Trump single-handily wrecked the USFL in the mid-1980's. Again, Pearlman claims if Trump never got involved, the USFL would've never folded and could've thrived the last 35 years signing only players near-or-below NFL squad levels. And, amazingly, far too many in the Kosher media are buying his crap and spreading it as fact, including Rich Eisen* of the NFL Network:

* https://thejoojoo.com/tag/the-usfl-the-league-that-tried-to-compete-with-the-nfl


Two things Pearlman "probably" fails to mention regarding "low-budget" spring leagues:

One, all other spring leagues have failed. In the early 1990's, led by Caste-stooge deluxe Paul Taglibue, the NFL launched it's own Spring League (WLAF) and it was an absolute failure, despite announcing some "gaudy" (likely heavily inflated) attendance figures year one. League had 7 North American teams, 3 in Europe and was total garbage (no ratings; empty stadiums; horrible athletes) by year two: https://americanfootballdatabase.fandom.com/wiki/World_League_of_American_Football.

In the early 2000's the WWE/NBC launched the XFL and after one week of great TV ratings and attendance, quickly fell apart and folded after just one 10 game season -- USFL played 18 games per year.


Two, the Tampa Bay Bandits (USFL) owner Pearlman and his fellow Lonsman praise so much (as the "Anti-Trump"), helped destroyed the WFL in the 1970's by "overspending", several years prior to joining USFL. In 1975 he crippled the very white-friendly Miami Dolphins Super Bowl chances by gutting their offense. Signed Larry Csonka, Paul Warfield and Jim Kiick for his Memphis Grizzlies to contracts exceeding 3.35 million, perhaps hoping his WFL Grizzlies would be accepted into the NFL as an expansion team?

At that time, league mergers were quite common: AFL/NFL....Also partial mergers ABA/NBA....NHL/WHA. That's the same thing Trump attempted to do with his New Jersey Generals. I did not know this until yesterday**. So Pearlman's and (ESPN's 30 for 30 crew) "Anti-Trump" USFL owner in Tampa tried to force a merger/expansion in the mid 1970's. How ironic?

Week 3 is in the books and there is great news to report from the stands: As I've noted before, this upstart developmental league seems to be even more anti-white than the rancid NFL. But at least white fans are not drinking Charlie Ebersol/St. James' Marxist Kool-Aid and supporting this garbage league, full of former black NFL Draft busts and below par players who lack basic football skills -- can't tackle; can't catch; can't block.

As I've noted before, San Antonio and Orlando are the only two teams that draw fairly well (over 20K per game) thus far. The other six teams have been a disaster the first 3 weeks and week four was a total kick in the @ss, in terms of "Paid Attendance" for the AAF. Vince McMahon must be crapping his pants, realizing he's committing 100 million towards another spring league (XFL) that seems even more likely doomed to fail, considering he's placing teams in already cluttered sports markets (with NFL teams) like Dallas, New York, Los Angeles, Tampa, Houston, D.C. and Seattle.

Biggest crowd of the weekend was a paltry 13,621 that showed up in Memphis to see the Express defeat the somewhat more white friendly San Diego Fleet. Memphis' Zach Mettenberger continues to impress, even with an all sumo line, in a league were the overall quarterback play has been poor to mediocre so far. ....Only white receiver to do anything significant week 4 was Memphis' Reece Horn, who had 4 receptions for 63 yards.

Only 9,302 fans showed up on a cold and snowy night in Salt Lake City. That's a devastating total, as the hope was SLC would be one of the AAF's better markets. It's been a total joke thus far. The very caste Orlando team, led by long time caste-pig Steve Spurrier, features the league's top quarterback Garrett Gilbert, who actually played in the Carolina Panthers' final game of the 2018 season. Veteran Tommy Maddox used the XFL as a springboard to get a starting job in the NFL (Pittsburgh). NFL veteran Josh McCown used the UFL to regain a starting gig in the NFL. Can Garrett Gilbert make it a "hat-trick"? He certainly has a chance, I think, to at least return as a backup. If Gilbert doesn't make it back to the NFL, Mettenberger might actually have a better chance to, perhaps? It's close.

8,865 assorted DWF's and Mexicans showed up in Tempe, Arizona to see the Caste Hotshots lose to the very, very black Atlanta Dream (1-3). Both quarterbacks played well, including Lonsman Aaron Murray, who had a brief stint in the NFL before going into broadcasting. Murray replaced Matt Simms in Atlanta, who was terrible the first 3 weeks and is probably not even good enough to be a backup in the CFL. He's the son of a longtime CBS TV caste-stooge, which might explain why he's even getting a chance in this low rent league that has a TV deal with CBS?

Finally, it was great to see a measly crowd of 6,539 show up in Birmingham to see the Iron defeat a moderately more white friendly San Antonio club. In terms of player news, nothing to report here except defensive ends Casey Sayle and Winston Craig were stout against the run. Both are clearly NFL caliber players. Glad white fans are ignoring this odious club like the plague.

The retards that run the AFF believed if they loaded these Southern rosters with black, ex-"local SEC hero's", stupid goyim would get all nostalgic and fill the stadiums a little better. Thankfully it hasn't happen thus far; this is something I predicted 5 years ago here: http://castefootball.us/index.php?t...cement-of-colored-athletes.16418/#post-298918

 

[Extra Point]

You definitely nailed that one Truthteller.

I wonder if these teams would be more successful if they had players who looked like the majority of their fans.

 

[La France Blanche]

The AAF has all of the NFL's weaknesses and none of its strengths. The results were hardly unexpected.

The AAF would have to do something to differentiate itself from the NFL if it wants any chance of success.

Thank you, Extra Point.

I definitely think it could make a difference, but it would never happen -- the Caste system is too entrenched and who would challenge it? Actually, I've "evolved" with the AAF real quick. The first three weeks I appreciated that the league was given NFL-caliber whites a chance to showcase their skills and I watched a decent amount, despite the AAF's obvious warts. But as I tuned into a few minutes last weekend, I suddenly became very disinterested and abruptly stopping watching altogether. I do not intend to go back soon, other than checking box scores.

All I noticed Week 4 were empty stadiums, teams even more anti-white than the NFL and other progressive bull$hit -- female on-field refs and coaches in every game. One replay ref (replay refs are displayed prominently during all telecasts) was a 7/11 type Pakistani. The week before it was a middle aged woman, who's competence was openly questioned by analysts Shaun O'Hara and Mark Malone when she overturned an obvious score. All this "politically correct" garbage should come as no surprise, if you read what I posted about founder Charlie Ebersol/St. James. He's basically a Hollywood liberal brat running a low rent MSNBC-style football league, hoping stupid whites will buy in. Because, remember, goniffs like Jeff Pearlman and Rich Eisen, living in some bizzare Kosher fantasy-land, claimed spring football would still be around and thriving if the President had not pushed for a fall USFL schedule, 30-plus years ago.

The AAF has all of the NFL's weaknesses and none of its strengths. The results were hardly unexpected....The AAF would have to do something to differentiate itself from the NFL if it wants any chance of success.

France, the point of my post in 2014 is the only reason so many of these college and NFL teams have such loyal fan bases is they've been beloved for so long by generations of DWF's. I guess that's the NFL's top "strength" -- tradition. Because of that, far too many whites have openly embraced virulently anti-white teams like Philadelphia, Seattle, Chicago and others for far too long. Hopefully that will eventually change. But it's probably a good sign that whites are rejecting these upstart, coal-black AAF teams as much as they are. Memphis, Atlanta and Birmingham all have about 3 or 4 white starters. Do these clowns really think whites in the deep South will embrace a new, minor league that is so blatantly anti-white? Or do they believe current SEC style rosters are the norm for retarded DWF's?

Caste NFL teams can get away with "fan indifference" and "empty seats" because they make billions from TV and other sources. That's another obvious NFL "strength". This league needs paying customers and right know there are not nearly enough. Truth is, had it not been for some NHL slug investing $250 million in the league** after week 2, it's possible the AAF could've already folded. I didn't expect things to be this bad so soon, but if these type crowds continue (or get worse) they'll have to decide if it's even worth wasting that NHL owners money on a second season? At the very least, they'll likely need to move or dissolve several teams.

Week 5 is in the books and good news, once again, to report from the stands. While reported "Paid Attendance" was up a bit from the previous week, it was, by no means, positive news for the founders of the league: As I've noted before, this upstart developmental league seems to be even more anti-white than the rancid NFL. But at least white fans are staying away in droves and not really supporting this garbage league, full of former black NFL Draft busts and below par players who lack basic football skills -- can't tackle; can't catch; can't block.

Here are the reported "Paid Attendance" figures for the weekend. Keep in mind, no one really knows what this actually means? Are fans paying full prices, set before the season, or are teams going into WNBA mode -- deeply discounted prices for fans and corporations, who in turn hand them out free to inner city "Yuffs" and deer "famblies"?

Announced Paid Attendance week 5:

San Diego: 20,823

Birmingham: 13,310

Atlanta: 10,829

Arizona: 9,351



I've given up on this league, pretty much (except for checking box scores), so here are some very limited notes from Week 5:

In a surprising move, Memphis promoted former Tennessee Volunteer Colton Jumper from backup outside linebacker to starting strong safety. Don't know if this move is permanent, but he responded with 5 tackles and had a PD on a key 2 point conversion attempt..... 2017 New York Jets draft pick Dylan Donahue finally got playing time at outside linebacker for the pretty much coal-black Atlanta Legends and responded with 1.5 sacks.....Karter Schult picked up another sack, giving him a leading total of 5 sacks.
After 5 weeks, Memphis' Reece Horn (13/187/0 TD's) and San Diego's Nelson Spruce (15/178/2 TD's) rank 9th and 10th in the league in total receiving yards.

I could see a re-election campaign with liberal governor Brown giving away free tickets to illegal Mexicans with their monthly SNAP card , free AAF tickets to see the Conquistadors or whatever nickname the San Diego team has.

 

[Truthteller]

WIR, now that you mention it, it does seem like most of the fans at Fleet's game seem to be Mexican. It's similar in Tempe, Arizona, where the Hotshots get much smaller crowds. A few weeks ago former NFL linebacker A.J. Tarpley returned a pick for a touchdown. While celebrating with the fans in the front row, it looked like the game was being played in Mexico City or El Paso, Texas. Certainly leads me to believe a significant number of those tickets in San Diego are being handed out for free, after corporations or government entities buy them at steeply discounted prices?

Only team in the NFL that seems to have a real high percentage of Mexicans sitting in prime/front seats is the Oakland Raiders. That's a big reason why they are moving, as it's a sign that in an old stadium (filled with all-black Raiders teams) the demand for tickets is so low (hence prices plummet), that even Mexican gang-bangers can dress up like Halloween clowns and sit in the front row at NFL games.


The link below it shows a black Fleet player (AfFleet) mobbed by the crowd in the front row. Seems like it's mostly Mexicans and/or obese whites?

I haven’t watched any of this horseshit, Jake Weineke was the one guy I was going to keep an eye on.....I haven’t heard much, so I looked him up......Salt Lake cut him.....Really???
I saw him dismiss a db in August while with the Vikings....Right off the line of scrimmage, knocked this db on his ass.....Dude is a good WR and tough.........He signed with Montreal/CFL

Just a note, California's governor is former SF mayor Gavin Newsom. Not that it makes any difference.

Interesting. San Diego Chargers fans who mostly filled the stadium there were mostly white, with more upwardly-mobile blacks and hispanics rounding out the crowd. This is more than likely the result of freebie tickets.

I forgot about term limitations, I guess "Moonbeam" can smoke his marijuana joints at his personal residence, not the governors mansion anymore. Allegedly while courting Linda Ronstadt she smoked and judging by his policies he obviously inhaled......

FD, just went over to AAF.com and found that Fleet tickets go for between $20 and $65 each*. Those up front seats are at the highest end -- $65. They seem to be filled with heavyset Mexicans and their anchor kids. That's probably 4 to 5 per group, which means about $300 to $350 to attend a bush league game. Very little doubt they are not getting those prices.

AAF goes out of their way to announce "Paid Attendance". But what does "Paid Attendance" really mean? In the WNBA, for example, once or twice a year the New York Liberty used to sell out Madison Square Garden, despite having a small season ticket base (less than 1,000?). Turns out corporations or wealthy individuals used to buy up 15,000 (or more) for $1 each and handed them out for free. You'd literally see MSG filled to the brim with young, raucous black kids on one or two weekdays, each summer. Okay, they sold out the arena, but that $15,ooo (or so) the Knicks made from the "sellout", probably didn't even pay the costs of ticket takers, vendors, security guards, air-conditioners, janitors, ect. MSG finally throw in the towel and rid themselves of the all hood-rat team recently.....My guess is the AAF is up to similar shenanigans as the WNBA, yet still has poor attendance.

I haven’t watched any of this horseshit, Jake Weineke was the one guy I was going to keep an eye on.....I haven’t heard much, so I looked him up......Salt Lake cut him.....Really??? Dude is a good WR and tough.........He signed with Montreal/CFL

rb, Salt Lake starts 4 whites on defense and Luke Carrezola plays a lot as well. It's a miracle they have so many whites on defense considering caste stooges Dennis Erickson (HC) and Randy Mueller (GM) run that team. You'd be hard pressed to find a more ardent Caste clown than Mueller**, during his NFL career! Offensively, they are very Caste and unwatchable. Jake Weineke would've probably been their best offensive player, but we knew the drill? Hopefully he excels in Montreal and makes a couple million dollars in Canada -- that's assuming he has a ten year career, like Greg Ellingson and Luke Tasker seem to be heading towards.

I've noted before this league is full of former black NFL Draft busts. I think Christian Hackenberg (2nd round) is really the only white draft bust I can think of. Perhaps some might count ex-Cowboys tight end Gavin Escobar? But the number of black draft busts in this league is stunning. Some are in their 30's and still trying to hang on. I guess you can't blame them, considering most are unemployable outside "feetsball"?

Here's an example, DL who's last QB sack was 2012: https://aaf.com/news/apollos-dl-worthy-seizing-opportunity-in-the-alliance
