Vince McMahon's Press Confrence
It looks Vince McMahon will not be taking any of my advice. He does not want to know what fans thinks. Should I send me notes to him?
I am surprised at what Vince McMahon thinks the market inefficiency of football are. The game is too long, the rules are too complicated, and fans are too disconnected from the game. I am not sure these are the actual market inefficiencies. The rap spells this out.
I love the idea that Vince is asking for all the fans ideas to improve the game. It reminds of the Henry Ford Line If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses."
It is good to see he does not want to go head to head with the NFL. But he sound sensitive to the idea of playing spring football.
How will starting a new business like this not impact him running the WWE? If this is true, how much time will he spend on each venture?
No crossover from the WWE to the New XFL is a good plan. There is no one in the WWE right now who would help the XFL 2020 in the mainstream.
Who is on the list of experienced executives who can run a sports league, none the less start one up? I have the feeling that is not a long list. I am not sure who would leave a top job at the top leagues to work at the XFL.
The safest possible way to re-imagine football is to get rid of helmets. I am not sure that is what Vince McMahon think is still football.
When Vince McMahon says a faster game, is he talking about a shorter play clock? If that is the case, how will he keep the quality of play up? Less skilled players going faster will not support quality play. One way to make the XFL 2020 faster is to have every player have speakers in the helmet and have the coaches be able to communicate until the ball is snapped.
When it comes to simpler rules, is Vince McMahon talking about the catch rule? What other simpler rules would make football better? Football has complex rules because the rules have been gamed over 100 years.
Some of these reporters are asking very small focused questions. I wonder why if they asked the questions they came up with before the press conference not listening to other questions. I wish someone asked about a players union.
