WASHINGTON IN THE AFFA?

Former Washington Redskins head coach and NASCAR team owner Joe Gibbs recently expressed interest in acquiring a AFFA franchise for the nation's capital Washington DC.

" Sure, I think Washington would be a great location for a spring football franchise. I have discussed the possibility with the AFFA commissioner and others. All I have received was positive feedback. In the 80's the Washington Federals of the USFL by all intensive purposes failed miserably. However, times have changed and though the AAF collapsed, it showed that there is a hunger for more football. I believe the XFL has a great chance at being a success as they have the financial backing and resources to make it happen. The AFFA though suffering some groins pains will be entering their fifth season in 2020. So would I be interested? Absolutely! Will it happen? Well, that remains to be seen. "  said Gibbs on a local Washington sports radio station Monday night.

It could very well happen as the AFFA announced that they will be expanding to 32 teams in 2020. The league had a total of 28 teams in 2019. Originally the league planned a 30 team format for 2020, but the commissioner and several team owners have campaigned hard for a 32 team format. A vote is expected at the owners meeting in September. Guess we will have to wait and see.

Familiarity To Be Key!

 The Associated Football Franchises Of America announced this morning that they are looking to bring more team recognition to the league in 2020. One way the league plans on doing this, is by adopting team names from defunct Spring leagues and perhaps a couple former Arena teams.

" We feel having teams with names that fans may recognize will help the league fan base. We are looking to hopefully adopt team names from the USFL, UFL, WLAF and former Arena league teams. We are also looking to adopt all eight franchises from the recently failed Alliance of American Football. Though the league didn't complete its first and only season, they did have decent television ratings and team reconizability will be high." Said a league official.

Also, the AFFA announced that the league will expand to 32 teams for 2020. Conference and division alignments will be announced once teams are finalized. The Louisville Thoroughbreds and Omaha Bulls are said to be the only "original " AFFA teams included in the " reboot ". The Miami Sharks and Carolina Generals have reportedly suspended operations due to owners disapproving of the new format.

The league owners will vote on the new format during the league Fall Owners Meeting in Dallas sometime in September ( date not confirmed).

A.F.F.A To Return in 2020!

The Associated Football Franchises of America will return in 2020!

Due to unforeseen problems with the sim, the AFFA had to shut the season down after the 2019 regular season. No play-offs or Championship game were played . 

A spokesperson for the league announced yesterday that the league will indeed return in 2020 with a revamp of teams and format. The league apologizes for the unexpected disruption of play in 2019 and looks forward to big things to come in 2020.
