SAN ANTONIO -- Since the league suspended operations on Tuesday, the Alliance of American Football has kept quiet. On Thursday afternoon it sent out its first tweet since the league shut down.

The tweet states: “ Effective immediately, all AAF players are authorized to sign with NFL Clubs.”

While this opens up one door for players, there are reports that many are not being taken care of in the aftermath of the AAF shutting its doors. Some players have tweeted about being stuck with hotel bills they thought were being taken care of by their team, and others who were injured might now have to pay their own medical expenses.
 

Another report states the league might owe businesses in San Antonio up to $4 million in unpaid bills. We reached out to a few businesses and sponsorship partners to get their reaction and got limited response. The Alamodome did issue this statement:

“We are disappointed in the news concerning the AAF.  Nonetheless, San Antonio and the Alamodome can be proud of the national spotlight that was on our community. Throughout the season, we were the league leader in attendance, merchandise sales and television ratings. The enthusiasm and support displayed by San Antonio fans was unequaled in the AAF,” wrote Patricia Musquiz-Cantor, convention & sports facilities director

Alamodome officials added that the AAF does have a balance due for preseason games and other services rendered, but they have a deposit that will cover the balance.

The Alamo Beer company, which had a partnership with the Commanders and made two beers tied to the team as part of that partnership, issued this remark:

“Alamo Beer Company, like the rest of the San Antonio community, will miss our professional football team,” President Eugene Simor said.
