This is how you turn a championship into growth. The Rock are putting four home games on CHCH in their market—and pairing the broadcasts with local marketing and community stories. That’s more than distribution; it’s an invitation for new fans to discover the team. Outstanding work by the champs.

I haven’t been this excited for anything on CHCH since Grapevine and Maple Leaf Wrestling. It was a better time kids

Kind obvious that he likes to talk, create community, and loves the action on the floor. Yet, if he went away the "old boys club" would consider it a win. Lacrosse literally enjoys driving people who don't fall in line away. hence why it hasn't grown last 40 year (100 years).

Likewise, players promoting it by suggesting we should simply give up other daily expenses. When you alienate your diehards, instead of harnessing their willingness to share the game, you’re going backwards.

Fans get to make financial decisions for their families, too. When people tell someone on the NLL’s Broadcast Committee that Flo costs too much, that’s feedback worth hearing. The league’s job is to make box lacrosse easier to get into. How many tickets a reporter bought is beside the point.

This is a good read for Lax Fans ALL Sports Fans are going through it right now NHL is risking a lot with their choices for watching games… HIGHLY criticized NFL Fans have to have 3 or 4 streaming services to watch games NLL Fans… we’re in it now. But hang in there

1/5 I don’t understand why in professional lacrosse some executives and players seem to bristle at criticism from fans. Believe me it’s a good thing they are paying attention.

Love seeing free NLL on YouTube. I haven’t seen the league push it in days. Put the link everywhere. Give casual fans a reason to watch tonight, then tell them how to catch the next game on FloSports. How do you miss both opportunities?

Ease of use and convenience is YouTube's calling card. Apps are integrated into every kind of device imaginable and their algorithm serves me lacrosse content on an all you can eat basis. Kinda seems like the exact place where lacrosse is at right now.

YouTube is now the most-watched TV distributor in America, and it’s pulling away, per WSJ. YouTube’s share of all US TV viewing time has climbed to about 14%, up from roughly 9% at the end of 2023, per Nielsen data charted by The Wall Street Journal. That puts it ahead of every traditional media giant, including Disney, NBCUniversal and Fox, and well ahead of Netflix at about 8%.

And another thing 😂 …having watched the Flo Sports NLL launch I must say I do like the CEOs passion … what did bug me is why are we treating this league like a start up … it’s f’n 40 years old … act like it … embrace it .. that was NOT the vibe from anyone on that panel

4/5 The NLL’s decision to partner with FloSports is equally fair game. Given Flo’s history and reputation with some fans, questions about access, costs, quality and the impact on growing the game is entirely reasonable. Those aren’t attacks. They’re legitimate concerns.

5/5 Pro sports don’t grow with people who applaud every decision. They grow through passionate communities and fans who care and demand better. When fans stop criticizing is the day leagues should really start worrying. Engagement is a privilege it is certainly not a nuisance.
