Fate of a Sport

When I first discovered the PLL I was at the end of my sophomore season and at an all time low with my love for the sport. I decided to give the PLL a try and purchased NBC gold.

Even though my Chrome men lost their opening game I knew the PLL was going to be something special. And once again my love for the sport of lacrosse was sparked but this time as a fan. I have watched nearly every PLL game since.

To be able to go back and go on a journey with the Rabil brothers watching them build this league into what it is was truly an emotional experience as I grew up with the league.

And to the Rabil brothers, thank you for all you've done I have had my disagreements with the leagues process but I have always had so much admiration for the PLL pushing forward the sport and the culture of lacrosse as a whole. Lacrosse is for everyone and it's amazing to see the fan base growing more and more everyday becoming more diverse and exciting.

This was an absolute pleasure to watch and I will always love the PLL and my Chrome boys. And Paul what you've done has changed the sport forever, and thank you for putting everything on the line Can't wait to see what the future holds as my playing days are also done too, and I'm excited to just be a fan of the sport o love so much.

Can we get a Chrome LC movie next though??

Excellent documentary. The film touched on so many different levels; family, business development, sports, and history. The subjects interviewed, from Adam Silver to Bill Belichick all brought unique perspectives to the screen and helped illustrate how fascinating both the league and the process to create it have been. The piece was digestible for fans of lacrosse and audiences who have never seen the sport, and it has the potential to resonate with all viewers. The raw and emotional behind the scenes footage give it an extraordinarily authentic and vulnerable feel, and by films's end all watchers can't help but root for this league, this sport, and these brothers. Can't wait to watch more of the PLL.

A never before seen look into the grit and determination behind the launch of the PLL.

An emotional & powerful behind the scenes look into what it takes to make a passion for not only the sport of lacrosse, but a passion for people who play it come to life in a real and uncut way.

When others say "It will never work," to be able to take that and use it as fuel to surge forward is a lesson that goes far beyond the sport of lacrosse and those who play and/or watch it. The life lessons in this documentary can be a guiding factor for adults and children alike. Those who formed the PLL are true role models.

Wow. Incredible film that truly showcases the beautiful game of lacrosse for the hardcore fans of the sport, casuals and people who've never picked up a stick. Fate of a Sport tells a true story of how the Rabil brothers revived pro lacrosse.

Players were practicing in parking lots, going to gas stations to get ice for their bodies and playing games at high school stadiums. Mike and Paul Rabil said enough is enough and it's time for a change. Watch how they build a modern professional sports league from the ground up during one of the toughest times our country has experienced in recent memory.

Fate of a sport is an incredible documentary uncovering the makings of a professional sports league. Although it specifically is about the history and future of the sport of lacrosse, there is no lacrosse history needed for viewers to feel the passion around this league. Rarely do you see the vulnerability and challenges that owners face - and Fate of a sport does not shy away from the raw feelings that have been poured into this league (from the owners, to the players, staff, etc). Highly recommend this documentary for lacrosse and sports fans! It's inspiring and showcases that the sport is on an upward trajectory.
