"We wish to announce that the American Football League has come to
the conclusion that the launching of a new major professional league is not
viable at this time. The ongoing economic situation precludes the necessary
sponsorship money and television interest to make such a venture possible. It is
with great sadness therefore that we must cease operations and begin dismantling
the league. We would like to thank all of you who had followed this great
adventure and wish you all God speed and blessings." |
