Similarly, this movie is not set in the NFL, but rather an unnamed fictional league (much like in "Any Given Sunday"). They never mention the NFL, you never see the NFL logo. Therefore, any "mistake" which references a NFL rule or team is not a mistake at all, since the rules and teams in this fictional league may be different from the NFL.

Yes, this is because the NFL would not authrorize the movie... even the last game was based on the strike, with the Cowgirls getting back most of their players - and played against the all scab Redskin team... and LOOSING
