Top-notch sales and marketing staffers will be as important as quarterbacks and linebackers for Detroit's new pro football franchise. The six-team AAFL said Thurs-day it has a deal in principle with Ford Field to have Team Michigan play its home games there when the season begins in April. The for-profit spring league is aimed primarily at recent college players who didn't make rosters in the NFL and other pro leagues. All AAFL players must have their undergraduate degrees, and the league is banking on local name recognition and school loyalty to draw college fans. http://www.crainsdetroit.com/a pps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/2007 0820/SUB/708200340/-1/TOC | ||

"Los Angeles Amazons Los Angeles, California" Yeah, I've seen a lot of them, and they weren't football players, either. | ||

I know about them, they are in the Independent Women's Football league. I was referring to this Women's Professional Football League. |
