So far it seems this version of the xfl is going heavier on the pr and not going for hard hitting brutality. 

I think they're trying to hit the market that deems the NFL has too much money, politics that aren't strictly patriotic and thuggery.  Burfict doesn't seem to fit that .

If the XFL has any success at all the NFL will have no choice but to relax a bit on some of the silly rules. That's what's pushing most fans away. I don't think the NFL should be used as a political platform either but to me if that was the straw that broke the camels back then you were never a huge fan of the game. It's the officiating that's pushing the true fans away. I don't give a damn who kneels or who doesn't, but once gameplay starts and every good defensive play is under scrutiny and automatically deemed dirty and intentional it gets old. And just about every deep pass is PI if a defender just has a hand on the receiver while looking for the ball too gets to be hard to watch. Then you get teams like NE that march right down field on 40 yards worth of penalties on every scoring drive to win games, then its really hard to watch.

It's possible, but people can moan about all these silly penalties until gameday.  The second a BS flag that gives their team 15 yards and a 1st down is thrown they go ape and jump for joy and then they go ape again when they get that TD thanks to that drive-extending penalty.  Also, what makes us think the XFL will have better/more clear rules that are better enforced?  Are they going to have better refs?  More clear rules?  Less penalties?  What's it going to be other than Vince McMahon hearing what people are complaining about and assuring us that he will fix it?

And again, no silly flags might not make up for the fact that a QB who isn't fit to start for the Browns is hucking the ball to an F+ WR.

It's possible, but the XFL was notably talent-poor and the games weren't very well received.  It was just football with pre-season castoffs.  If the new XFL boasts an entire season that looks like the 4th game of pre-season, then good luck to them.
