In A Shocking Turn Of Events, The AAF Allegedly Fucked Over A Lot Of Players, Coaches, Facilities, And Employees

When the AAF debuted, it was sold as a second chance for players who never got a second chance. The guys who just missed out on the NFL or wanted to get back on a roster. That’s what made it cool. It did provide a shot for a lot of football players but after the league folded on Tuesday, it’s fucked a lot of those same players.

In that tweet, Robinson tagged Rich Ohrnberger, an ex-NFL player and current NFL analyst. He tweeted out a thread earlier in the day:

One thing is for sure: lawsuits are coming.
