Report

The Fan Ownership League was a brief attempt by United States Football League founder Dave Dixon to start another Major League / AAA rival American Football League to the NFL.

It had four planned cities: Seattle, Philadelphia, New Orleans and Washington DC, but the emergence of another rival league, the International Football Federation, saw the two leagues consider merging, although it was a third league, the XFL, with its multi-million dollar NBC TV contract which put an end to both leagues.
