Holy shit, man. You can tell the XFL is going to be absolutely fantastic with how well opening weekend went.

When the XFL was brought back in 2020, the excitement levels were high for what was a solid product — that was until the COVID-19 pandemic came around and forced the league to cut their season short. In fact, things got so bad for the XFL that they were forced to file for bankruptcy, putting an end to the re-launch.

Fast forward to 2023 and the XFL is now owned by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and his partners at Alpha Acquico, LLC, who brought the league out of bankruptcy and back on the field.

Feb. 18 was opening day, which then led us to another two games on Feb. 19, and from the looks of it, the XFL is going to be pretty damn entertaining, and appears to be a legitimate league to help us fulfill our football fix with the NFL now in their offseason.

For example, let’s go to the Week 1 contest between the DC Defenders and Seattle Sea Dragons.

At one point in the third quarter, Defenders fans created a beer snake in the endzone stands, continuing a tradition from the last version of DC’s fan base. Hell, the tradition was so glorious that even former XFL Commissioner Oliver Luck got involved with the fun back in 2020. However, Audi Field security ain’t playing that shit this year. Instead, they look to ruin everybody’s fun, and did so by confiscating the fans’ beer snake away from them.

So how did pissed off Defenders fans react?

By pelting the field with (bleeping) lemons — and fresh beer.

And then after that, Defenders fans got to work on yet another beer snake — so great. Just so, so great.

Only one week of action and the XFL is already in all of our hearts.

Any league that has fans that cook up a beer snake, throws lemons on the field in protest after it gets taken away by security, and then builds another beer snake after the fact, you know is going to be legendary.

You have something here, Rock. I hope you smell what you’re cookin’.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
