AFL Suspends Local Business Operations

arenafootball.com

The future of the Columbus Destroyers is in doubt after the Arena Football League suspended local business operations for all six teams Tuesday. 

The Albany Times-Union reports the league commissioner says a decision on a full suspension has  not been made, but the league will not be continuing to operate business operation units in local markets. A league statement says the move is a direct consequence of current financial constraints, which include extensive legacy liabilities and a recent multimillion-dollar litigation by an insurance carrier related to prior league operations.
