Ouch. What is the typical income of a professional lacross player, anyway? Maybe they're better off getting real jobs.

They don't make shtein. They all have real jobs in addition to playing Lacrosse.

The players don't get paid jack in that league.  Most of them are Ivy League educated professionals who play the game because they love it.  In fact, I'd venture to guess that nearly all of them have careers that pay them significantly more than what the NLL pays them.

All they were looking for was a decent slice of the pie and the cocks in the league said no.  So, again, white America gets farged over.

they're going to be losing tens of dollars in ticket sales.

They averaged almost 11,000 fans per game in the NLL last year (see below).  Not great but certainly not bad - especially for a minor sport like indoor lacrosse.

The National Lacrosse League finishes it's 20th season by setting an all-time single season attendance mark, reaching a total of 1,037,147 fans for the 2006 season, including 88 regular season games, six playoff games, the 2006 All-Star Game in Toronto, and the 2006 RBK NLL Championship Game presented by Edge Active Care. The league season average attendance was 10,804.

I attended one Wings game because the tickets were gratis. It was cool, but it was clear that they probably got as much revenue from promotions are they did from ticket sales.

[Wingspan]

I went to a Lacrosse game and a hockey league broke out.

New Delhi senior government official killed by monkeys

Part of the problem is that devout Hindus believe monkeys are manifestations of the monkey god Hanuman and feed them bananas and peanuts — encouraging them to frequent public places.

eom

Over the years, city authorities have employed monkey catchers who use langurs — a larger and fiercer kind of monkey — to scare or catch the macaques, but the problem persists.

yes that plans seems to be taken directly from a simpsons episode.
