NPOV edit edit

Just wanted to say that I removed the line "It is considered by most to be the Premier League in all of Indoor Football & second only to the AFL in terms of talent and level of competition." in order to removed a biased point of view from the article. I Googled "United Indoor Football" and Premier and the only results I saw where Premier was in reference to the UIF was in the UIF's own press releases. I originally started down this road of inquiry after wondering how something can be the premier league when it is also claimed, in the same sentence, that the AFL is better in terms of talent and level of competition. If the intent is to compare to the British Premier League, then they must be first in both to be considered as such. And so, after some research, I determined that the statement was not neutral in nature and as such have removed it. If it is not the case, then please cite the source of the comment from a third party and replace the line. Thanks! Kurrurrin 20:07, 11 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Well, an enterprising fellow decided to add the line back in without any explanation or citation. In assuming good faith, I'm going to mark it as having neutrality disputed. Once it's referenced by something that isn't a PR document, feel free to remove the tag. Kurrurrin 20:25, 13 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
User 66.245.135.175, would you please stop reverting my edits to the article. This is an encyclopedia, not a venue for PR pieces, so if you would please cite the source for that statement or at least attempt to explain your reasoning behind it, it would be greatly appreciated.
