'The momentum generated by our players, coaches and football staff had us well positioned for future success. Regrettably, we will not have that opportunity.'
The Alliance of American Football suspended operations Tuesday, only halfway through its inaugural season.
"The momentum generated by our players, coaches and football staff had us well positioned for future success. Regrettably, we will not have that opportunity." The league averaged 400,000 to 500,000 viewers per game, according to ESPN. AAF got another shot in the arm when former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel signed with the AAF’s Memphis Express.
Though fans of the AAF and some media reacted to the league's folding on social media, few of the AAF's players other than Manziel spoke about the league. San Diego Fleet defensive end Damontre Moore thanked his family through Instagram for their support. Former New York Jets linebacker Taiwan Jones, who played collegiately at Michigan State, said he"literally dropped everything" to sign with the Memphis Express on Monday night, less than a full day before the league folded.
