While it never threatened the superiority of the NFL, the Arena Football League once provided an affordable alternative for families to attend professional football games. At its peak, it attracted more than 2 million fans per year, with franchises in major metropolitan areas such as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Unlike traditional football, Arena Football brought fans closer to the action on smaller fields. Games typically were much higher scoring than traditional football.But in the last decade, the once popular indoor adaption of America's most popular sport crumbled. Years of crumbling culminated on Wednesday when the league announced it is officially disbanding. “We’re all disappointed that we couldn’t find a way forward and we wanted to thank our fans, our players, coaches, everyone who loved the Arena Football League," AFL Commissioner Randall Boe said. "We all love the game and tried very hard to make it successful, but we simply weren’t able to raise the capital necessary to grow the League, resolve the substantial legacy liabilities and make it financially viable.” In October, the league announced that it was suspending local operations at its six markets as it contemplated its future. The league has been on shaky ground since the league canceled the 2009 season amid a labor dispute between players and the league. When the league returned in 2010, average attendance in the league dwindled from nearly 13,000 fans per game to just over 8,000. League participation had dwindled too as only four teams were fielded in 2018, although two new clubs participated in 2019. Justin Boggs is a writer for the E.W. Scripps National Desk. 1678

WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) — The House has easily passed an .3 billion measure to battle the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. The sweeping bipartisan vote came just nine days after President Donald Trump requested action.The legislation came together unusually quickly, a rarity in a deeply polarized Washington. The legislation more than triples the .5 billion plan unveiled by Trump just last week. It would speed development of vaccines and new medicines to battle the virus, pay for containment operations, and beef up preparedness. Trump is expected to sign the measure, which has the blessing of top Republicans. Next up is the GOP-controlled Senate, which hopes to pass the bill Thursday for Trump's signature.The Center for Disease Control and Prevention would receive about .2 billion of the funding, while .1 billion would go to a public health and social services emergency fund, according to The Washington Post. Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer says “there is no reason to be penny-wise and pound-foolish” when it comes to Americans' health.As of Wednesday afternoon, 11 people in the United States have died from COVID-19, the illness associated with the new virus. All but one were in Washington state. Worldwide, more than 3,200 people have died from COVID-19, according to 1306

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve took emergency action Sunday and slashed its benchmark interest rate by a full percentage point to nearly zero and announced it would purchase more Treasury securities to encourage lending to try to offset the impact of the coronavirus outbreak. The central bank said the effects of the outbreak will weigh on economic activity in the near term and pose risks to the economic outlook. The central bank said it will keep rates at nearly zero until it feels confident the economy has weathered recent events. The Fed also said it has dropped its requirements that banks hold cash reserves in another move to encourage lending.The Fed's announcement comes after President Donald Trump badgered the the apolitical agency throughout weekend, pushing them to lower rates. Trump lauded the decision at a press conference at the White House on Sunday evening."I'm very happy," Trump said. "...you won't hear anything bad from me (about the fed) unless it's a few months from now." 1018
