No questions were taken in a call that lasted for only around ten minutes. ESPN is reporting that there are no plans for a 2021 season. According to a prominent former XFL staffer, President & Chief Operating Officer Jeffrey Pollack stopped short of saying the league was going out of business. But the strong implication was clear. “It’s done. It’s not coming back.”
