I also think it can succeed, if the league organizers are true to their stated intentions of making the league a farm team of the NFL. I just hope they have the patience, the marketing know-how and most importantly the financial resources to pull this off. I think the AAFL's management was well-intentioned, but just didn't have the business plan needed (i.e., they spent money prematurely and foolishly) to make it happen. There were some good people involved with that league that got left out in the cold, and now this ridiculous class action suit should put to an end any hopes the league had of coming back from its hiatus.
