How come NFL doesn't have a farm league?

how come NFL doesn't have a farm league?

Literally all other sports have countless minor leagues, except for American football, who has one league only??

CFL, Arena are professional leagues where shitty players can go. Pacific Pro League is just starting up.

And the NCAA Football is like the #2 league in America.

what is college football

where do teams send their prospects for match experience?

College football is literary a farm

Also college basketball

This. And unlike other pro leagues' farm systems/developmental leagues, it doesn't cost the NFL a dime.

Injuries

a 52+ man team costs a lot of money to run. minor league hokkei and boreball teams only need about half of that. d-league is pretty shit and isn't as developed as hokkei or boreball minor leagues

They send them to the practice squad.

The NFL has the best farm league in all of professional sports because they don't pay a dime for it.

They don't. If they're not talented enough to be on the practice squad, they're not on the team. The organization isn't like soccer or baseball.

The average NFL career is also insanely short.

you literally have 1 shot to make the NFL and if you blow it some other nog will take your spot

Remember NFL Europe?
Nope, exactly.

I have strong feelings about this and many ways to fix it but I'm too lazy to type it out. Tell Goodell to call me

College football Is their minor league dumb dumb.

Goodell, call him/her

Match experience is a bad thing in football because it just means injuries and concusions
So if a player isn't ready for the team yet they just practice with them

Even that wasn't really a farm league, right? I mean, it wasn't like the Chicago Bears had a relationship with the Berlin team and could send down players and call them back up.

Average career length at most of the positions in the NFL is like 3 years, so college works fine. Either you're ready out of college or after a year of the NFL's harsh practice schedule, or you're washed out of the league.

Football is too dangerous to send young players to a farm league for x amount of games. It's less risky to keep them in-house and do the work in practice. Since games are only once a week in football, players spend at least 5 days out of the week practicing, which is unique to football but also very necessary due not only to the danger of the game, but the complexity of it as well.

yuros don't get the concept. unlike other sports, players aren't DEVELOPED, they're EXPENDED.
a career is amortized by the number of snaps you've played. kickers, punters, and pocket-style quarterbacks are the only exception, and quarterback is the only position DEVELOPED.

Soccer also has only games once a week, albeit with a few midweek games for top clubs here and there

Teams had contract rights with a decent percentage of players, but a large minority of them were signed with any team iirc

*weren't

this. americans are cucks and pay huge taxes to send niggers to college, where they fail all their classes but still manage to get drafted, then kicked out of the NFL by their third year and become career criminals for the rest of their lives

americans PAY for this shit
