~ About This Site
XFLBoard.com
is the unofficial source for information about the XFL. Established
in April 2000 it was one of the first XFL web sites to appear
on the web and it has been building a following ever since.
XFLBoard.com
caters to fans of the XFL. It was set up originally
as a portal for fans to discuss the XFL through a simple
message board, but it has expanded to news, rumors,
chat, surveys and polls.
XFLBoard.com
has followed the new football league throughout it's
days of inception and onwards up to the moment the league
kicked off for the first time. Since a very exciting
first week the XFL has been getting a lot of bad press
mainly due to low television ratings. But, this has
not affected the popularity of XFLboard.com.
Traffic
is constant at our site and we don't actually expect
to see the demise of the XFL in the near future. Why?
Because the XFL business model does not call for owners
to pay athletes millions of dollars. Much to the chagrin
of the media, and other leagues, such as the NFL, the
XFL plans to be around for many years and XFLBoard.com
has plans to grow with the league throughout the coming
years.
XFLBoard.com
has been continuously successful in providing the fan
the latest news about the league. On game day, we currently
place freelance team reporters in the press boxes, locker
rooms and sidelines of up to four XFL franchises. Articles
written for the site are unique in their fan perspective
- keeping within the general theme of the site. We are
also continuously expanding our "army" of
reporters as new opportunities arise.
Every
week the fans are polled as to their opinion about the
XFLBoard.com Players of the Week. As the official league
picks are made, XFLBoard.com also publishes the Fan's
Choice for Players of the Week. Sometimes the official
choices and the fan's picks are the same; sometimes
they are totally different.
The
centerpiece of the site is a very active discussion
board. The board currently boasts over 3500 active members
and usually averages over 150 new posts every day. Member's
posts in the discussion board have been quoted in the
"LA Times" and in "YAHOO Internet Life"
magazine.
XFLBoard.com
is owned and operated by a Winnipeg, Canada based Internet Consultant,
Mark Nelson. Mark is a pure football fan who loves the Canadian
League in the Summer/Fall and more recently has developed a
good taste for the XFL in the Winter/Spring. When asked why
he loves the XFL, Mark had this to say: "The XFL is a fast
paced unpredictable game just like the CFL. This is what I like
about the new league. What the XFL lacks in 'star power' it
certainly makes up for it with pure football energy."
Onwards
and upwards for the XFL and the unnoficial fan site
