    He probably wouldn't be able to fill out the paperwork to join the league.

    10 Million dollar deal with McDonald's. *All ASL match tickets will come with up to $20 in coupons on the back. The league will then print 500,000 tickets.

    Yeah, that's not the same as a $10M deal with McDonald's.

    The 500,000 tickets thing is hilarious. They could not possibly distribute 500,000 tickets between now and 2027.

    I love how they show a major world class stadium, yet play in front of 8 people at junior high stadiums.

    ASL has expanded by 5 new teams for fall season with 4 of them partnering with international brands, to be released later in the season

    Keep in mind, of course, that any brand that sells in two nations is technically international.

    I am assuming of course that "further details" will be released later in the season...and it's NOT that the international brands are being released...and ASL teams are not being released...you know maybe from prison or something...lol

    Ongoing argument at my first newspaper in Wilmington, NC: The local airport insisted we refer to it as "international" because it occasionally had a private or cargo plane go to the Bahamas or something like that. The editor refused. Fun stuff.

    So I noticed that the ASL has two teams listed that are not in the standings - Atlanta something or other and a team out of Sacramento whose social media is gone.

    I would say that Chuck Blazer's cat is seeking employment and could easily run this league in a more professional manner.

    If the ASL has a team in Sacramento, pigs CAN fly.

    Honest question:
    When this falls apart, what level would be the appropriate league for them to join? D2? D3?

    Where is Sacramento listed? Atlanta's been listed for a few months, but I don't see any reference to Sacramento on the website.
