Miggle must also believe this as they are still in business, selling boards, bases, figures, chin straps face mask and the like. They seem intent on surviving and so should we, without the NFL.

Our league will still start in September 28 plus coaches STRONG and life goes on. As a practical matter the fact that Miggle does not hold an NFL license has NO effect on my participation in the hobby and I doubt I am alone.
If anyone disagrees with me fine, but in doing so please provide a list of leagues that a have folded or even a solitaire player who has given up on the hobby due the to change in the Miggle catalouge.

Minature football does not need an NFL license to survive.

I know we all wil keep playing no problem!!!New people kids will not play!! but anyway Steve I guess what we are doing is just venting!!!

Unlike others who are stuck in their own world. I as a new returning member of the community hear ya load and clear B. There is no way I'm paying $300 - $600 for a vibrating board when their is a cheaper one available and other forms of entertainment available. Like PS3, the original electric football killer (Sega). That's why Tudor went out of business originally because of Video games. They lost their NFL License due to enourmous pressure from the Video gaming industry. You want to know who took your Electric football license and raised the bar for Miggle. Go ask EA Sports. MADDEN. Those in this hobby want to make it bigger then what it is and I'm gonna burst your bubble. IT's NOT. Video Games rule. Enjoy your community and respect the members you have. Only new members comming are the few of us that remeber the days of yester and OUR KIDS! We may get lucky and grab some of their friends but in the end it's MADDEN Nation and Fantasy Football. Or try this one on for size REAL football. Some of us can still run at least a 4.8 or 4.9 forty and we chose to play real football.

Dont get me wrong I'm not bashing the hobby because I'm back and I love it. But I'm real in knowing that in order for this hobby to GROW not exist but ATTRACT the YOUTH is to mass produce at a cheaper price. Not custom pricing! And no event is bigger then the Super Bowl. Nor the rose bowl or suger bowl or outback steak house or any of those the Super Bowl. I want to play with Tom Brady not the revolving QB out of Notre Dame!

I love ya all so don't miss the point!
