Everett AFL team
- ... that when a semi-pro football team owner asked if some of his players could try out for the Washington Wolfpack, he was given ownership instead? Source: Everett Herald ("After the announcement, Thomas reached out to the league to try to get tryouts for the Royals players. That quickly turned into him owning the franchise, he said in an interview. ")

- Driveby comment: the Arena Football League isn't the primary topic for football leagues called the AFL, given it's not the one we use "AFL season" to refer to the seasons of. This is a bit tricky for this hook's title, though it'll hopefully be resolved once they announce an actual name. Vaticidalprophet 12:04, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

- @Bogger, Vaticidalprophet, and Narutolovehinata5: QPQ done, semi-pro is linked - as for the article title, the name should be announced soon - the vote for the new name was completed three or four days ago and I thought one of the news articles said it will be revealed this month - we could wait until then to feature the hook.
