Lacrosse experts say Major League Lacrosse and the Premier Lacrosse League can't survive long-term side by side.

Paul Rabil takes a shot for the New York Lizards in 2015. By Jacob Bogage Jacob Bogage National sports writer and blogger Email Bio Follow May 28 at 7:00 AM Tim Troutner Jr. attended the Major League Lacrosse draft in March. The goalie from High Point University had watched the league growing up, idolizing some of its goaltenders, and after he was selected with the second pick by a team in Florida this spring, he nearly signed a lease on an apartment in Miami.

“I was pretty frustrated with the MLL,” said Troutner, who grew up in Annapolis and went St. Mary’s High School. “I knew the PLL was building something new and it’s a new era. I knew they were going to have the best players, and if you want to be the best, you have to play with the best.” He signed a sponsorship deal with Under Armour to supplement his $6,000 salary then found a way to turn his personality and lacrosse success into a multimillion dollar media and investment firm, Rabil Ventures. What began with Rabil filming his workouts with GoPro cameras and posting them to a Facebook page became a company that provided seed funding to the Athletic, among other ventures.

PLL’s six teams will tour the country together, hitting 12 cities, including Baltimore and Washington, during a 14-week season. An advisory board constructed teams based on players’ colleges, former pro teams, skill and age. The Whipsnakes Lacrosse Club, for example, is composed of mostly former Maryland Terrapins.The PLL’s format excited many MLL players eager to follow Rabil’s lead and make lacrosse a full-time job.

Trump has lost his first two attempts to fight 'all the subpoenas' in courtThe president may have more success in the court fights to come, including appeals in the cases decided this week. But the two losses are nonetheless a dramatic setback for his fight-them-all legal strategy. he is out after strike 3, right? Against Obama judges, btw. So not surprising. They will all end up in the Supreme Court and Trump will win. Learn from ESPN. Stick to market reporting. It is not a loss until the Supreme Court says so.
