I did some checking on the Lax Mafia team that will be at the NLF this weekend. The team is out of Parkland Florida and goes by several different names including Team 91 Titans, Florida Extreme and now Lax Mafia. I believe there are other names as well. According to the Lax Mafia website, they are the 2024 national champions. It also says they have 2023 players, so they play in the 2023 bracket. How can they be 2024 National Champions if they play in the 2023 bracket? They played in the WSYL under the Florida Extreme name and were the worst team in the tournament. They couldn’t win a single game. Yet they claim to be 2024 national champion. Yet they have never beaten any AA team in fact they get blown out by every AA team they play. Are there no limits to the false advertising done by some of these unscrupulous teams? These are flat out blatant lies by this club. Who invited this scam of a team to the NLF? Between the lies of bogus teams like this, and the MD and MA teams that secretly have no 2024 age players on their 2024 teams, the business of club youth lacrosse screams out for some kind of governing body besides the money grabbing clubs. Unconscionable.
