Trump's presidency is the XFL version of the executive branch. I just watched a very timely airing of ESPN's 30 for 30 on the rise and fall of Vince McMahon and Dick Ebersol's XFL. The XFL had tremendous hype. It was expected to be a vast improvement over the structure that existed before it by breaking all of the rules. The XFL would finally give us what we really wanted and deserved in football. The XFL set a top ten highest ever rating for it's opening game, people realized that it lacked substance, and it quietly went away in shame. We can only hope that a Trump administration goes that route.
