Cheating scandals and Beer Snakes, you read that head line correctly. We expected a bit of drama and chaos from The Rock and subsequently his new XFL football league. I don’t think we were quite expecting this. With the XFL back in action in week three, our storylines are heating up. A cheating scandal has arisen with Orlando Guardians quarterback Quinten Dormady.
Dormady is accused of leaking plays to San Antonio Brahamas at some point during the season. Initially, Dormady was reported be cut from the team and removed from the XFL. However in a chaotic turn of events, the QB has returned to the Guardians roster with the league launching a formal investigation to figure out what exactly has occurred.

But recently the DC Defender fan base caused an uproar due to the security stopping the improvement of one of the snakes in a home game recently. Lemons were thrown onto the field, and the referees had to even stop the game momentarily for player safety. The fans have made it a tradition of sorts and now have good news with an official statement agreeing to let the Beer Snakes return to the games as along as they follow the rules provided.
