XFL COVERAGE: • What is the XFL? • The move to put a team in San Antonio made sense considering how football-crazed the state of Texas is. However, the mascot choice left many others across the country asking a significant question. What exactly is a "Brahma?" Here's what to know about the Brahmas mascot and why Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was likely behind the mascot choice for the XFL's San Antonio franchise. What is a Brahma? The term "Brahma" is, in this case, an abbreviation for the American Brahman, which is a type of bull that has been bred in the United States since 1885.
