Criticism
NBC's coverage received sharp criticism from some long time AFL fans and owners like Jon Bon Jovi. The complaints were mostly because NBC had severely cut back from their initial promotion of the AFL in 2003 and 2004, to barely promoting it at all in 2005 and 2006. NBC also tended to only broadcast select teams - the Philadelphia Soul, Chicago Rush, Colorado Crush, and the Dallas Desperados, while smaller market teams such as the Austin Wranglers, San Jose Sabercats, Grand Rapids Rampage and the now-relocated Buffalo Destroyers were left in the dark.
