What IS THE DIFFERENCE

Many people ask what is the difference in Semi-Pro football, and Minor League Football, because neither one gets paid, and you are right neither one gets paid. But let us look at the difference in the two. Semi - Pro has been around for almost 50 years, the term Minor League Football has been around 10 years. Semi-pro was a large group of guys playing football for the enjoyment of their families, while Minor league football is being played by players that still love the game, but some of its athletes have the ambition of trying to get film in hopes of playing at the next level, rather that's playing Arena 2, Arena 1, Canadian Football, are the N.F.L. its all for good reason. Don't get me wrong I am not putting Semi- Pro football down because I myself played 6 years, and because it set the stage for Minor League Football coming to the fore front. Semi-Pro football is now an after thought, and here in the near future all of the top athlete's that have not had a fair chance to make it to the next level, will want to play Minor League Football because the players will be paid, where playing Semi- pro they never will. And their will be no reason to play Semi-pro unless you are playing for just the love of the game. Well their are several leagues out there that call themselves Semi-pro football leagues and the owners have no desire to help any of these athletes get better, and get a true chance. Those owners, and those leagues, and they know who they are. The team owners just want to make money off the players and the league owners just want to make money off the team owners. These are just 2 reasons why I started a Minor League football system, because players will truly get a fair shot and because I want owners to truly be successful in ownership, and by teaming up with J.C. Kimey League Commissioner, ex Dallas Cowboy Lincoln Coleman, and ex Cincinnati Bengal Rickey Dixon that's what we have done. Stay tune for more to come.
