So how come the L.A. KISS can put a team together in a year, but other leagues can't afford the insurance or whatever? Is it just about having more money?

If you can't afford something, isn't it usually about not having enough money, by definition? Isn't that the reason someone says they can't afford something?

Not to mention that they're named after a band that was set up as a mass- marketing project at it's inception, and the team is more or less a vanity project to keep Simmons' monumental ego in a (peripheral) part of the public eye. Don't remember the Sex Pistols or Misfits trying to peddle this sh*t:

Don't remember the Sex Pistols or Misfits trying to peddle this sh*t: Exactly. KISS has something which the A11FL brass did not have...Income! KISS still generates $$$ through music royalties, licensing, and they actually still tour, thus they are not living off business loans. They actually have capital and access to greater lines of credit since they have DAY JOBS and others who want to start leagues and teams don't! This is not a job for them, this is an investment and ancillary. KISS is essentially in marketing their music brand only to one person, Jimmy Buffett.

I was comparing them to their contemporaries. But if you want to argue that they have more in common with the NY Dolls I won't disagree.

Don't really care. The ship has sailed in terms of bands merchandising themselves.

Don't really care. The ship has sailed in terms of bands merchandising themselves. The ship has almost sailed for bands, period. Not too many guys can get by music alone these days, unfortunately.
