Such a out of touch idea due being a contact sport, it would be a shit viewing, it would be extra game added in already fecked up shedule, its not like you can just drop that game in middle of the week, you need to create fake event around whole thing to attract interest.
Its a plastic idea, then again nothing else can come from owners from US and how they view sport, their attempt for Super league should been enough of a warning. This shit would open a door for new cringefest ideas.
He aint fool mentioning money and pyramid, he knows to play on fake care for lower divisions and soft it with offering money generated from it as initial pass, if you think that would be the case after, when shit starts rolling, you would be a fool. God forbid it sticks a bit and they already in, boom, now you have a product to sell.
