Former XFL Employees React To Shut Down Of Operations

After the conference call Friday from XFL president Jeffrey Pollack, now former XFL employees took to Twitter to thank the league, fans and their co-workers. We have a list of some of them.

Sam Schwartzstein –  Director of Football Operations

For 671 days I had the coolest job in the world: Change the game of football to make it better for fans, players, and coaches. I can't thank the @XFL2020, Oliver, Vince, and everyone involved enough. Made some friends for life and will share some of my favorite memories here pic.twitter.com/EQ5HeTmmuj

*Note: I was at that game pictured above, I was excited for both of them, to finally see their hard work come to life.

Blake Kuenzi – Dallas Renegades Equipment Coordinator

Joining the XFL was the best decision I could have ever made. I met the most amazing people, learned so much about myself, and truly enjoyed going to work. I don’t know what is next for me but I know the XFL played a huge roll in shaping my future and for that I am truly grateful pic.twitter.com/FXNTIW3w30

Brooks Sherman – Tampa Bay Vipers Field Producer & Editor

The end of the XFL came as a shock. I went through my favorite moments of the season and put this video together. I want to thank the @xfl2020 and the @XFLVipers players coaches, and staff for this experience that I will never forget. I am looking forward to the next opportunity. pic.twitter.com/tIokLtj1d6

B.W. Carlin – XFL Social Media Editor

THIS is probably my proudest moment from my time at the XFL. Taking home the Player of the Week. My name on the same list as the legend @schwartzsteins.

XFL forever. pic.twitter.com/DAO2bXUvhA

Hope everyone is safe and having an amazing day.

With the XFL ceasing operations, I'm also shuttering this account in the coming days. Thanks for all the support & enthusiasm – was an awesome run. Long live the Beer Snake.

Jenny Taft – Sideline Reporter

Covering @xfl2020 @XFLonFOX was one of my favorite experiences as a sideline reporter. I’m bummed for the players, coaches, team staff members – everyone was so excited about the future of the league. Lucky to experience it and get to know some really special athletes and people.

Jeff Friday – DC Defenders Head Strength and Conditioning Coach

Thank you XFL for giving me this opportunity. Working with a start up in which we had to be innovative and creative made me a better coach. #defendthedmv https://t.co/eP9DFS9rUp

Jared Forest – NY Guardians Communications Coordinator

Status: Free Agent

Yesterday, I was among the 400 employees who got laid off as the XFL suspended operations. The experiences that I have gained as the Communications Coordinator of the Guardians are absolutely priceless…

However, it is time to move forward.
