AFL Shuts Down Football
FILE - In this Aug. 25, 1997, file photo, Iowa Barnstormers fullback John Motten (42) attempts to block as quarterback Kurt Warner (13) eludes Arizona Rattler defenders Hunkie Cooper, bottom, and Bob McMillen (44) during the Arena Football League championship game in Phoenix. The AFL has shut down, this time indefinitely. The league, which previously called off play for the 2009 season but said it planned to return in 2010, sent a terse, one-paragraph statement to its teams late Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2009, announcing it had suspended operations.
