[quote=""sportznut""]Would this suprise me? No, the force were one of the last minute teams thrown together to make the league bigger in numbers. I have nothing to base this next comment on, but I wouldn't be shocked if the next team we hear about in trouble were the Alabama Hammers. They also were a last second throw together. Time will tell[/quote]
I thought all of the teams were a last minute thrown together thing just to make the `Bucs look good. It sure hasn't made their owner look good though.

[quote=""Caballo Diablo""]If the af3 dream comes to fruition next year it might be the only choice anyways as the AFL really isn't interested in them all. Or will the SIFL imploding void and interest or contract to take them over.[/quote]

The basic story is that the Southern Indoor Football League is dealing on two fronts: first, acquiring the American Indoor Football Association's East Division and at the same time trying to broker a deal with the AFL to become the next af2.

This is what really give minor league sports all together such a bad name. I mean come on stop throwing teams together to try and make a quick $$. In the end all you do in piss fans and supporters off. Fayetteville has always been a tough sale without crap like this. Hopefully the local owners deal works out and something solid can be put together. I know there was talk of a local group before this jack wagon came to town. Man never knew 3 loses in a row could fold a team....... :mad:

Shoot if 3 losses were all it took to fold a team than Trenton would have packed it in after their first 3 games.

He lives in NJ, I believe, so I don't see that happening.

The Majority owner of both the Force and Steel (Andrew Borwaciz) is an attorney who lives in New Jersey. If he pulls the plug on one of the teams it has to be Fayetteville.

I hope it works out for everyone BUT my guess is the FORCE is not strong in this one. Not paying staff, players and who knews who else is not the way to market a team to perspective new buyers.

Read this article. I've seen some lousy excuses for players not to be paid, but this is near the top in ridiculous. Andrew Bondarowicz is truly a master of bs. What's worse is the SIFL is allowing this behavior although has been rumored/reported that this man may be the SIFL and Hager no more than a figurehead.
