The End of the AFL? And NASCAR?

The Arena Football League is cancelling the 2009 season due to the economy.  

They aren't quite a major league, but they are somewhere between hockey and soccer.  Pretty sad state, when sports leagues are going under.

Sure, the AFL says it will be back, but I doubt it.  Especially with the UFL going to start up soon.  Can our country support 3 professional football leagues?  Maybe, but I doubt it.  Look at the XFL.

In related news, NASCAR is hemorrhaging as their corporate sponsors (GM, Toyota, Ford, Chrysler, et. al) start cutting their advertising dollars.

That s no good about NASCAR. I can see the AFL going under as it's not very popular.
