Professional Lacrosse was my favorite sport. This is the NLL (National Lacrosse League). I'm originally from Rochester, New York and have been going to the Rochester Knighthawks games for over 13 years. When I moved to Niagara Falls, I drove back every weekend to catch their games. This year they were undefeated at home (10 - 0 including playoffs).

They had the best record in the league and had secured home field advantage throughout playoffs. After beating two of the toughest teams in the East, they won the division and are going on to the Championship game. Here is where the bullshit starts.

First off there is a week off between now and the championship game. Why? I don't know. But the game is slated for May 12th which the Rochester arena cannot host because of them booking the circus. Can they move the circus? No, it was booked in advance. Can they reschedule the game? No - it's being televised and for some reason a television contract must mean they don't allow you to move the date - God knows why.

They are set to play Arizona (9 - 7 record compared to Rochester's 14 - 2 record). I believe they finished 3rd or 4th in their division of 6 teams so they were awful. Anyway, Rochester can't host the game or move it so what do they do?

You would think they would host it in Buffalo or Toronto, seeing as how these are both teams in the league and are only hours from Rochester thus still giving a "homefield" advantage to Rochester. Well they did not do that.

You would think they would then try a neutral arena so as not to give an undeserving team a benefit. Well they did not do that.

THEY ARE PLAYNG THE FUCKING GAME IN ARIZONA. Does this make any sense at all? Why does Arizona get rewarded for a conflict in scheduling in Rochester? How do you "secure" homefield advantage then lose it? This is ridiculous. The NLL is a joke and they are tarnishing the reputation of Lacrosse.

I wanted to let you all know of how outrageous the NLL really is. If any of your friends ever ask you to go, say no. If you know anybody that goes now, tell them about this and to not go anymore. If you go, please cancel your season tickets. This is a horrible injustice to the world of sports and we should not tolerate it.
