Imagine complaining because instead of ESPN+ your game is being broadcast on one of the five major OTA networks in the United States that’s viewable by 108,569,170 households (82%).
Thinking out loud here…
What if the
#Pac12
made a play to also be a basketball conference?
Adding UConn, Gonzaga, Memphis, UNLV, & SDSU would instantly make it a force to be reckoned with on the court.
Now that
@LeeHuttonIII
is gone and
@CoachJeffFisher
is commissioner, it’s time we all rally behind the
@OfficialAFL
and it’s 10 teams.
Righting the ship won’t be without its bumps, but we’re heading in the right direction.
The future is bright! ⚡️

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
Per multiple sources with the team, the
@Minnesota_Myth
are done.
An email went out this morning confirming the end of the team’s season.
Players still have not been paid by the
@OfficialAFL
.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
Per multiple sources, the
@Minnesota_Myth
players have not received payments or meal vouchers.
@LeeHuttonIII
was supposed to come to practice tonight to deliver payment to players but failed to show.

So the Pac-12 is going to pay the MWC an additional $24.5m to poach Utah St. and UNLV, but they wouldn’t offer Memphis, Tulane, and USF more than $2.5m each to help offset their exit fees?
Make it make sense 😵💫
Here is what needs to happen w/ the
@OfficialAFL
:
1)
@LeeHuttonIII
resigns or is ousted
2)
@CoachJeffFisher
named commissioner
3) Teams w/o legit owners folded
4) Teams w/ owners rally together for a great rest of the season
5) Build from there into 2025 and beyond
#AFLisBack
Hey Coach, how about instead of us wagering $5,000, you just donate $5,000 to the players in your league who have STILL yet to be paid for multiple weeks of work and are now stranded with nowhere to go. Here’s the GoFundMe link.
MASSIVE divide in the
@OfficialAFL
right now between teams w/ solid ownership & those owned/run by the AFL
Teams w/ ownership are paid, housed, & fed
Per source, teams run by AFL are scrambling for place to stay, lack meal vouchers, & are still waiting on payment for last week
.
@Tsilvaaa55
was a player with the
@IowaRampageAFL
. He hasn’t been paid, is now unemployed, has been kicked out of his hotel, and is trying to get his family back to Hawaii.
This is the current state of the

Per sources, the

Over the next week or so, I plan on highlighting every player who was w/ the
@Minnesota_Myth
These guys deserve so much more (a paycheck is a good start), but this is the least I can do to support them & hopefully help them find a new opportunity
Please like & share these posts
Today is bittersweet. I’ve been looking forward to the Myth’s opening game for months.
Now, the game is barely happening because the AFL refuses to do right by the players, & I might not be able to watch.
But I’ll continue to support the coaches & players cause they deserve it!
The
@Minnesota_Myth
have emailed ticket holders to their next game saying it has been postponed and to hold onto their tickets because the game will be rescheduled.
Only problem? The game has already been rescheduled…in Albany, NY 🤦♂️ Avoiding refunding people?

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
The now defunct
@OfficialAFL
partnership with
@nflnetwork
would have had the AFL paying the NFL Network $1.3 MILLION a year for 3 years, receiving NONE of the advertising revenue per
@OregonAFL
President Pat Johnson.
(H/T:

I honestly don’t know how the
@OfficialAFL
could be any more incompetent.
They’re tarnishing an incredible brand and legacy beyond repair. It’s disgraceful and makes me so angry.
Per source, players with the VooDoo who have means are Venmoing the players who don’t so they can meet their basic needs since they haven’t been paid by the league yet.
Absolutely embarrassing stuff for the
@OfficialAFL
.
I was out today cause the
@USFLStallions
had to beat down the
@XFLBattlehawks
. So let me get this straight:
Billings vs Rapid City was cancelled while Billings was warming up?
And Minnesota vs Albany was cancelled because MIN can’t make the trip out?
No days off for the
#AFL
.
@Minnesota_Myth
owner Diana Hutton released a statement for fans on the shuttering of the Myth.
Says her efforts were "lost in the waves of negative chatter and misinformation that plagued social media." But nothing about how she STILL HAS NOT PAID PLAYERS.

And you could have donated money to the unpaid, unemployed, and unhoused players in YOUR league, but you’re too busy trying to take a victory lap on X over an eleventh hour settlement.
Here are my realignment predictions:
- UTSA, Memphis, & Tulane to
#Pac12
- Air Force to
#AAC
- UTEP, NMSU, Sacramento State, Montana & Montana St. to
#MWC
- Tarleton St. & EKU to
#CUSA
🚨🏈🚨QUICK REALIGNMENT PREDICTION:
- Texas State, UTSA, Memphis, Tulane to PAC-10/12
- Air Force to AAC. Would be 12 team league, all three academies in league.
- UTEP, NMSU, Dakotas or Montana schools to MTW
- Liberty to Sun Belt to replace Bobcats
- CUSA🤔
Thoughts???

The player who spoke out, Myth FB/LB Zach Curry, was CUT this morning by the team.
Zach hasn’t been paid for last week, and now he’s unemployed.
Absolutely atrocious behavior by

@OfficialAFL
, and

. They should be ashamed of themselves
The Minnesota Myth have released an eleventh-hour statement on their Instagram denying there was ever a question whether their players would play tomorrow night.
However, at least one player has already come out publicly and said their statement is false.

Team could fold very soon.

Turns out “Myth” was the perfect name for this team. Because those paychecks are ✨mythical✨

It means instead of putting money toward lawsuits with the league you formerly ran or fake wagers, you should probably actually help the players your new league’s leadership has left broke, unemployed, and stranded.
Again, let us know when you make that donation coach.

@OfficialAFL
commissioner Lee Hutton III has "put a hold in Philly", effectively ending the
@phillysoulfb
season, per one of the players. An official announcement is expected tomorrow from team owner Kelly Logan.

@IndoorInsider
If they licensed it from G6 why was this filed in November? Why cant I find anything from G6 or Pike LLC with AFL? I know you are the ex President and Board Member, just piecing it together. Thanks Anthony
🚨 UPDATE 🚨
The Myth have started blocking people on Instagram, and they have turned off the comments on their post as people were beginning to tell the truth on it about what’s going on.
Cowardly behavior from people who know what they’re doing is wrong.

Man, wouldn’t it have been cool if they had televised this game on national TV? Like, idk, maybe NFL Network or some channel like that?
Huge miss for the league 🤦♂️
.
@OfficialAFL
meetings since the new ownership took over:
“How can we restore credibility in the AFL?”
“I got an idea! We cancel the last week of the regular season, play a semifinal game at 10 pm, and then have the ArenaBowl on a Friday night in a shopping mall!”
“BRILLIANT!”
Two summers ago, I woke up at 2 am in Europe to watch the
#USFL
Championship.
Today, I stayed up until 3 am in Europe to watch
#ArenaBowlXXXIII
.
Totally worth it.
I’m bummed we’re losing the
@OregonAFL
franchise in all of this. I know there were some serious issues with their venue, but I liked the branding and their budding rivalry with
@AflWashington
.
Hopefully they can make a comeback.
In an interview with
@acarter_TV
, Billings owner Steven Titus is calling for the current Arena Football League Commissioner Lee Hutton, to stepdown immediately.
He wants to have Jeff Fisher, President of Operations for the Nashville Kats, to step in for Hutton’s role.

Before the season,
@LeeHuttonIII
said “local media outlets who’ve reported on the planning [for the

] as flimsy would have ‘egg on their face come April 2024.’”
Someone has egg on their face right now, but it’s not local media outlets…

Sucks we won’t get a full season of QB Rakeem Cato in the Arena Football League.
The Iowa Rampage announced on Thursday they are folding despite playing their game today.
