The CIFL Is Not Broadcasting Their Title Game

Just thought you'd like to know that...

The Cincinnati Commandos of the Continental Indoor Football League are hosting the title game at the Cincinnati Gardens against the Wisconsin Wolfpack.

Sure, if you'd like to hear Ben Mauk ((Yes, that Ben Mauk)) go for a title you might need to go to the arena...

John Kiesewetter of the Cincinnati Enquirer has a weird story about the team itself not wanting to have the game broadcast- even for free...

Beacuse, after all, it is a title game...

Regional Sales Manager for WQRT-AM "Real Talk 1160," Jamey Schleue, said team president Jim Smith told him the team “didn’t want to further invest in the brand, because the brand won’t be there next year.”

Schleue didn't know what that meant...

“We’ve offered to broadcast the game for free – it’s the championship game! – and they won’t return our calls. It’s the most bizarre thing, and I’ve been in sports marketing for 30 years,” said Schleue.

Here's a preview of how the Wolfpack got to Cincinnati, thanks to our friends at WolfpackTV...

Ain't nothing like the minor leagues...
