WWE founder and chairman Vince McMahon announced Thursday he is giving a professional football league another go.
It will be called the XFL, the same name of the league McMahon and NBC tried for one season in 2001, but it won't rely on flashy cheerleaders and antics as its predecessor did, he said.
Features of Returning XFL
• 8 teams to start
• 40 man rosters
• 10-game season beginning in January
• Two-hour game-time goal
• Any player with a criminal record precluded from playing
• Players won't receive forum to take personal stance on social issues on playing field
