NFL Thursday Night Games? Cuban Warns...
"NFL Thursday Night Games? Cuban Warns Bad Idea"
2014—The day before the NFL owners met at their annual get-together, they were getting ready to award CBS a contract to televise Thursday night games in coming seasons. Dallas businessman and, at the time, owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks stated that if the League did that and eventually went to five days per week, it would implode in less than ten years.
"I'm just telling you pigs get fat, and hogs get slaughtered." Cuban added, "When you try to take it too far, people turn the other way."
Mark, you are a brilliant businessman, but over a decade after this decision, the NFL is stronger than ever.

The World League of American Football (WLAF) was a professional American football league founded by the NFL in 1991. It featured teams in North America and Europe, aiming to expand the sport's global reach. 1 While showcasing some promising talent and generating initial interest, the WLAF struggled with financial sustainability and inconsistent attendance. It underwent restructuring and rebranding before eventually ceasing operations in 2007, providing a platform for players and coaches and briefly introducing American football to new markets.
