I'm not a big football fan (particularly since Colin K), but after a friend mentioned it, I tuned in to watch the USFL over the weekend.
I didn't see any kneeling, BLM signs or other crap that the NFL and other woke sports teams embrace.
NICE!!
Unlike the millionaire NFL players, the USFL players seemed to play like they needed the work:

USFL wins with football and fun, not politics
USFL punted on politics and millions of Americans are grateful

In just the past few years we have see Major League Baseball remove the All Star Game from Georgia over a voting bill that wound up leading to record turnout, we saw Black Lives Matter logos emblazoned on NBA courts, ESPN, once the home of sports, now often resembles left wing cable news with a few scores scrolling by occasionally.
But by the time the USFL kicked off this Spring there had already been a backlash brewing against the non-stop politicking in professional sports. It might have been tempting two years ago for the nascent league to try to make a social justice splash, but instead they stuck to the gridiron. And the fans responded.
