WFL Hopes New Marketing Plan Solves Money Woes
The World Football League, amid heavy losses, plans renewed marketing to boost attendance and stabilize finances. President Chris Hemmeter says all 10 teams will return with new plans, while noting limited public discussion of the league's viability. Players previously tied to gate-based pay are seeing reductions, and several teams face deep deficits as meetings continue. Rod Shoate of the New England Patriots is out for the season with a broken right leg.
