Professional lacrosse leagues PLL and MLL are merging
December 17, 2020 GMT
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Premier Lacrosse League and Major League Lacrosse are merging and will formally exist as the Premier Lacrosse League.
It’s another step forward for PLL co-founder Paul Rabil, who had been seeking to unify and figures the disruption caused by COVID-19 was good in hindsight.
“When we got back to the table for conversations this offseason, it just felt more likely that a merger could get done,” Rabil said Wednesday. “I think overall for lacrosse, unifying this could be akin to basketball and football, historically,”
As part of the merger, the PLL announced it will immediately expand to include the Boston Cannons, previously of MLL, as the league’s eighth team, under the new name Cannons Lacrosse Club. The team’s roster will be selected through an expansion draft in 2021.
The PLL will retain the rights to all the former MLL teams for future expansion considerations, but MLL players are now eligible to enter the PLL without being bound to existing long-term deals with MLL.
“That has always been the most important thing for me, that we get the best product on the field,” said Rabil, once the MLL’s biggest star before breaking away to form the new league. “I think it’s critical. When people watch pro sports, they want to know they’re watching the best in the world. To be able to definitively say that … is a really positive outcome of this.”
Rabil, who co-founded the PLL with his brother, Mike, in 2018, called the merger “a massive step forward for professional lacrosse.”
“Merging the two organizations and removing some of the challenges that athletes, sponsors and fans faced will undoubtedly advance the game forward,” Paul Rabil said. “This one’s particularly nostalgic for me and a number of PLL players, given that we began our careers and played in championship games with MLL prior to the PLL’s launch.”
The two leagues have created a management team that will oversee the transition, including: front office, team and player orientation; the 2021 season schedule, which will include former MLL team markets; and a long-term plan to develop youth lacrosse players in communities where MLL has been located.
“This merger only benefits the future of the game, for it combines the history of professional lacrosse with an innovative approach that has already accelerated the game’s growth,” MLL commissioner Sandy Brown said.
The PLL’s second season never got started. The tour-based league had to shift into overdrive to come up with a viable plan after the COVID-19 pandemic brought professional sports to a halt in March.
The Rabils mulled about a dozen different scenarios, and after talks with broadcast partner NBC, league commissioners and health officials, the PLL became the first professional league to opt for a tournament in a bubble-like atmosphere to decide a champion.
The PLL’s 16-day tournament in August at Utah’s Zions Bank Stadium was played with no fans and aired on NBC platforms at times that had been reserved for the canceled 2020 Summer Olympics. Players and staff were tested for COVID-19 and sequestered under quarantine during down time.
In response, Major League Lacrosse opted to conduct a tournament of its own.
also without fans, at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland, to crown its 20th champion. Its games were broadcast on ESPN networks.
Paul Rabil said viewership was up 22% for the summer tournament over the PLL’s inaugural 2019 season and viewership for the critical 18-year-old to 49-year-old demographic was up 37%.
The PLL created a different version of lacrosse in an effort to make the game more exciting and appealing, especially to younger fans. Among the changes were a field shortened by 10 yards to create more chances for transition and scoring, and shortened playing time and shot-clock duration.

The Kitchen Aid food processor is the best invention for the modern kitchen!

In just a few seconds, any ingredients: meat, vegetables, nuts or herbs will be crushed. And at the same time, no effort is required on your part – just select the mode and press the button.
Attractive design, simple and easy to operate, small dimensions, light weight and stability – these are the main advantages of the Kitchen Aid shredder.
“How do they do it?” — perhaps, this is the first question that comes to mind for those who try American-made Kitchen Aid equipment for the first time.
Everything works so efficiently, easily and quickly that there is something to be surprised and something to admire. Not without reason, since 1930, the Kitchen Aid planetary mixer, as well as other products of this brand later, has been the most desired Christmas gift in the USA, Europe, and more recently in Russia. For the Kitchen Aid brand, it is important that the concept that the company developed at the beginning of the 20th century and has been strictly adhered to for more than a century is important. This concept says that everything that is produced under the Kitchen Aid brand must be of high quality, durable, beautiful, ergonomic and must necessarily include some kind of innovative solution.
Household appliances as a symbol of progress
Following this concept helped the company become a world leader in the production of various household appliances, both small and large, including refrigerators, dishwashers.
Everything you need for cooking, processing and storing food is in the catalog of the American brand. And everything that is manufactured and sold by this brand meets the strictest quality requirements and incredible aesthetics. Kettles – electric, for stoves of various types – are not just a device that will warm or boil water. This is a symbol. A bright, recognizable symbol of the spirit of America, freedom, it is a symbol of the active and lively fifties and sixties, when the whole world came to its senses after a devastating war and allowed itself to become bright, plastic, spectacular.
There is room for everything!
Kitchen Aid baking dishes – round, oval, square, rectangular shapes for pies and other pastries, are more like dishes for elegant serving: they are made so stylishly and impeccably from a technological point of view. The ceramics used by the company have been specially prepared, and therefore the dishes cooked in it do not dry out, they are baked quickly and evenly.
Ceramic molds are durable, enamel does not fly off them, chips do not form even during active use and washing in a dishwasher.
It is on the example of an American company’s baking dishes that one can show how important it is for a company that its products do not take up much space in the kitchen. It’s no secret that the same mixers or baking dishes always cause a problem where to store them. And, it would seem, with such serious, solid and powerful products as Kitchen Aid, such a problem should also arise. However, the company’s engineering approach also manifested itself in relation to the ergonomics of space. Therefore, even the most powerful branded blender or mixer will successfully fit into the working area of a small kitchen.
