CFL TO EXPLORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALIGNMENT WITH XFL OWNERS DANY GARCIA, DWAYNE JOHNSON, AND REDBIRD CAPITAL
Two leagues enter into formal talks exploring potential for collaboration and innovation to grow the game of football
TORONTO & Greenwich, CT - The Canadian Football League (CFL) and XFL owners Dany Garcia, Dwayne Johnson, and RedBird Capital have agreed to work together to identify opportunities for the leagues to collaborate, innovate, and grow the game of football.
Statement from Randy Ambrosie, CFL Commissioner:
“Canada has an exciting game and devoted fans, and our discussion with the XFL provides a tremendous opportunity to build on that strong foundation. We look forward to exploring how we might work with one of the most innovative sports brands in the world to grow the game, engage fans in new ways, and reach new audiences. We look forward to seeing what possibilities our discussions might uncover, and to sharing those with our fans as the process unfolds.”
Statement from Dany Garcia, XFL Chairwoman and Owner:
“Since we first acquired the XFL, we have focused on identifying partners who share our vision and values on and off the field. A vision filled with opportunity, innovation and the highest level of entertainment value for the benefit of our athletes, fans and communities. The CFL has expressed that similar sentiment and jointly we recognize a great opportunity to build exciting innovative football experiences that make the most of each league's unique strengths. I look forward to our continued discussions and we will update the sports community as we have more to share.”
Statement from Jeffrey Pollack, XFL President and CEO:
"We are honored and excited to be in discussions with the CFL. It's clear through our early conversations that we share a passion for football, an expansive sense of possibility, and a deep desire to create more opportunity for players and fans across North America and around the world. Blending the CFL’s rich heritage with our fresh thinking, and the unique reach and experience of our ownership, could be transformative for the game. We look forward to learning more about what's possible together with the CFL and where our shared passion takes us."

XFL, CFL talk of potential partnership in post-pandemic return
The XFL and the CFL are discussing options for collaboration as they plan their return to the field following the COVID-19 pandemic, representatives of both leagues confirmed Wednesday.
Statements released by CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie and XFL chairwoman/owner Dany Garcia did not reference the possibility of a merger. They indicated that talks are in very early stages but offered no boundaries on the depth of the potential partnership.
"We look forward to seeing what possibilities our discussions might uncover, and to sharing those with our fans as the process unfolds," Ambrosie said in part.
As the discussions continue, planning for the XFL's 2022 season is on pause pending the outcome of conversations with the CFL, according to XFL president and CEO Jeffrey Pollack on Wednesday.
"Since we first acquired the XFL, we have focused on identifying partners who share our vision and values on and off the field," Garcia said. "A vision filled with opportunity, innovation and the highest level of entertainment value for the benefit of our athletes, fans and communities. The CFL has expressed that similar sentiment and jointly we recognize a great opportunity to build exciting innovative football experiences that make the most of each league's unique strengths."
The statements largely framed the discussions in the terms of their innovative histories, and indeed both leagues feature significant variations from the conventional format used in the NFL and U.S.-based college football. In addition, Garcia has spoken previously about making the XFL a global brand.
But the CFL in particular was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and might find a financial advantage to shared resources. The CFL canceled its 2020 season after failing to secure $30 million in aid from the Canadian government. It has announced a full 2021 schedule that would begin with preseason games in late May, but it is unclear how the ongoing pandemic will impact attendance at games, which accounts for the league's primary revenue stream.
The XFL canceled its 2020 season after five weeks of games and was put into bankruptcy proceedings by former owner Vince McMahon. Garcia and fellow owners Dwayne Johnson and RedBird Capital Partners paid $15 million for the league last summer.

XFL, CFL open to potential partnership in return
As the XFL and CFL plan their returns to the field, both leagues confirmed Wednesday that they are discussing options for collaboration and a potential partnership.
That can be huge if it goes down
That would literally change the game of Canadian football
Wow
Wow
can’t wait
from what I've read on Twitter so far.... if there is a merger .... CFL would take on American rules...
Which would be insane...
But the CFL took such a big hit in 2020 ... they need something like this.
Even if it becomes a AFL v. NFL situation where the two leagues play against each other and the home teams retains that leagues rules..
That would be insane
And then have the Champions of each league play a final World title game ...
This would instantly bring huge attention to both leagues ...
It would finally make CFL a legit brand in the United States .....
That first championship game .... US vs. Canada would be insane....
I strongly support this happening if it does
This would have never happened if it wasn't for Covid ....
Vince was never going to do this and CFL sure as fuck was never going to think about this.
3 downs 
Nah, the credit goes to his ex-wife Dany Garcia (who’s also his manager, business partner & as you read above, chairwoman of the XFL).
She’s the brains, he’s the personality. The two together is an unstoppable combination.
i just hope i can keep my season tickets...
I didn't know who his wife or ex-wife was but I do know Dany Garcia name be on all that shit. When you see a ex-wife attached to shit like that just know it ain't no cash grab......its because she is like you said the brains.
Not going to lie.... Chick is fucking built like a gawd damn Tank...
After Dates they probably got two Green Smoothies and went around doing Vigilante shit like

IS she still built like that? Damn I thought she was much smaller.
She was the first woman signed to the Weider roster. But yeah, most women bodybuilders look pretty normal in real life, if anything especially curvy but that's about it. It's when they are cutting getting ready for competition is when it's noticeable because they are at or just under 15% body fat.
From the interwebs:
Including other potential bonuses, the average player would be estimated to earn about $60,000 from training camp through the end of the season. The XFL also valued its benefits package as worth an additional $20,000, in addition to paying for housing and two meals a day during the season.
50K for a few months worth of work, and opening one up to scouting opportunities? Can't say that's a bad thing.
