XFL Calls It A Year Because Of Corona Virus

When it was announced that the Dragons would represent Seattle in the reformed XFL, I really didn't give it much thought.  There had been a number of upstart football leagues that would play, only to fold.
When my wife gave me season tickets to the Dragons for Christmas and said that our friends would also have season tickets, I got excited.  Dragon tickets are affordable, in addition, you can get club seats for just a fraction of what it would cost to attend a Seahawks game.
Almost a month ago, we attended the home opener at Century Link Field.  It was fun and we really enjoyed Seattle's latest sports entry. It was the Dragon's first victory.
We gave our tickets to the second game away because we were out of town, but we eagerly looked forward to this week's game when the team would return home after a long road trip.  It's not to be though as the XFL has announced the season cancelled because of the Corona Virus.
It is indeed heartbreaking, but something that needed to be done.
Hopefully, the league in it's entirety will return to play next year.
