History


The Alliance of American Football announced the awarding of the third inaugural league team, Alliance Memphis, on May 4, 2018.[4] This announcement was followed by the May 10, 2018, announcement of Mike Singletary as the team's head coach.[3]


On July 30, 2018, the Alliance announced team Memphis had signed its first 29 players.[5] On September 20, the league announced four eastern inaugural franchises' names and logos including Memphis as the Memphis Express.[6] The name is derived from Memphis' significance as a mail and cargo transport city being the "World Headquarters" of FedEx, with an airplane being featured in the logo.[7]


On January 5, 2019, training camp opened in San Antonio, Texas.[8] The final 52-man roster was released on January 30.[9]


The Express' inaugural game against the Birmingham Iron at Legion Field on February 10, 2019, ended in a 26–0 shutout loss.[10] Their first home game was a 20-18 loss against the Arizona Hotshots during week 2.[11]

Observations interpreted as evidence for the Westermarck effect have since been made in many places and cultures, including in the Israeli kibbutz system, and the Chinese Shim-pua marriage customs, as well as in biologically-related families. In the case of the Israeli kibbutzim (collective farms), children...
