The Vatican City is the world's smallest sovereign state. What was once part of Rome was declared independent in 1929. The Vatican is the headquarters of the Holy Roman Church and it has fewer than 1,000 citizens. Inside its walls you will find vast collections of art, religious artifacts and rich traditions.
Originally, six teams were announced and two teams would be announced at later date. Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, New York, San Francisco, and Washington were all awarded teams. The XFL, switched, Miami and Washington to Birmingham, Memphis, Chicago, and Las Vegas making the XFL team total at eight. During the season, XFL debuted on February 3, 2001 in Las Vegas and Orlando. The world was eager to find out about the XFL. Ratings were high but interest died quickly in the league.
It pretty much did not live up to the fanâs expectations as the season progressed. After its failure, 39 players from the XFL were drafted in the NFL (10 of which won the Super Bowl), 20 of them went to the CFL (10 of which won the Grey Cup), 9 went to the AFL, 1 won the XFL, NFL and CFL championship, and one went on to wrestle in the WWE.
