<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>Well, I'm going to assume that most people usually watch a couple hours of sports news each week, or catch the sports section in the paper, to check up on stats, trades, games on schedule, etc... Well, that is an extremely effective method of advertisement. The only thing you ever hear about XFL is the poor ratings.</div>
