New League Challenges Nfl
Ex-NFL quarterbacks Joe Kapp and Craig Morton announced plans for a new football league they said would begin play next September.
The enterprise called All-Star Football expects to have 16 franchises playing games on Sundays in direct competition with the NFL.
The league will not have traditional club owners. Instead all franchises will be owned by the league with players, employees of the league, owning equity in the company.
The league has plans for teams in New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Hartford, Miami, Orlando, Memphis, Houston, San Jose, Cleveland, Columbus, Milwaukee, El Paso and Mexico City.
