It appears that Vince McMahon’s XFL is the latest spring football league to go down.
According to several reports, the XFL is suspending day-to-day operations and has laid off all employees during the health crisis.

The statement was read to employees through a conference call by League President Jeffrey Pollack.
No questions were taken. Call lasted all of 10 minutes— Konnor Fulk (@KonnorFulk_XFL) April 10, 2020
As stated in a previous Tweet, there will be a Skeleton crew of league execs that will remain at the Stamford, CT HQ.

Despite initial optimism about being able to return next season, the XFL will reportedly not go forward in 2021.
