@JakeHaleee They created a city-based franchise model, but some local fans have never seen their team play in their city. Some teams don't even live in their city! There are *five* LAN events that will have fans this year, and one of those locations doesn't have a CDL team. $25 million.

Minnesota’s new CoD franchise is considering building an esports arena near Vikings training...

The 2023 Call of Duty League season ended 123 days ago. There has been no public confirmation about when the next season will begin. For comparison, the 2022 season ended on Aug. 7 and the league announced the season schedule and event details on Sept. 20, 44 days after Champs.

@JESnowden It feels like a lot of the nitpicking that WWE received post-WCW has now been directed at AEW. Both WWE and AEW deserve criticism for certain things, but I feel like AEW is consistently a good-ish product that suffers from impossible 'fan' expectations and complaints.
