Here's the real reason the @NLL is headed to Flo Sports, despite what players and operational people wanna tell you.
Numbers like these won't keep ESPN excited for long (first 2 images. Cornhole outperforms the league on ESPN linear (3rd image).
Did they get more viewers on ESPN2? Sure they did, but ESPN obviously isn't interested in bumping major sports leagues to feature the NLL when even on ESPN2 they got a fraction of what NCAA Football, Basketball, and the NBA would generate.
So the NLL would rather jump to Flo, and if they can get 75-80% of those ESPNU viewers (AI says likely less views on ESPN+) to pay monthly, they're generating $100k/mo in subscriptions (minus whatever Flo keeps).
It's good for their finances, but I've yet to hear someone with the league say the move is to generate cash that they desperately need. They keep saying it'll be better for the sport.
They know damn well they'll get more views on YouTube on replay. That's the only reason they're providing the games for free a day or two later.
The league would get less hate from fans and talk shows if they'd just be honest. "We need the revenue" should've been announced Day 1 of the move to Flo. Not, "this is gonna be great for our sport" which makes it sound like they'll flip dirt bike fans into lacrosse people, when the numbers on ESPNU just don't support that theory.

@REFLOG18 Don't sleep on Dover. I know Steubenville rolled them once but Dover figured some things out. Also, Indian Valley v Claymont rematch should be good. Indian Valley won 7-6 in week 10 when Claymont's 2pt try at end of game ended in controversial no-call interference
@SenSchumer Why do you only select certain types? I agree w you on some points, but both sides neglect to call out the BS from their own side. Tribalism at its best
Define MAGA hero? Some of you just regurgitate bullshit you hear on TV. @elonmusk wanted to rid politics of waste, weird that you arent some powerful and wealthy ruler but against his effort to stop wasting tax payer money w fraud and waste because of which party was in control when he wanted to help. He never stopped his quest for more resourceful power sources. You are the same type of person that hates @billmaher just because he says things unpleasant to your "beliefs", even though he never changed how he votes.
@JPGonVI Lol, you act like a little child on social media, making cracks at a guy's looks and living situation, a guy you dont personally know, on a social platform, then wonder why someone else you dont know responds. Your KDS is getting to you
