Since @majorleaguelax decided that it couldn't handle any constructive criticism and deleted my comments on their post, I am going to post them here where they don't control anything I say.

I am so far from being an expert in video production, but any person who has ever created a video can tell you how poor this is. Lighting is atrocious. There are several shots that are so dark you almost can't see what is happening. The editing is a mess and shots dont make sense. He walks into an empty dome, and then suddenly there are 50 people standing there watching him?

But perhaps the biggest flaw here is logical. Why are you making introduction videos in which the players being introduced are wearing gear the entire video and could literally be anyone in the world wearing a @ryan.mcnamara81 jersey? And then you are making a video about how he is such a sniper, and yet you never see him take a full shot, instead you cut away to the ball hitting the net. I know McNamara can sting corners, but people who need an "introduction" to him, don't. Show him actually hitting those corners.

I am not saying these things to hate on you. I think the MLL has more to give the lacrosse world and I want you to get out of your own way and do better to meet the needs of the lacrosse world. I am saying these things to point out how simple these flaws are and to show how if you put 2% more thought and effort into your product, you will get a much better result.

The players in the MLL who chose to stick with you deserve better. The fans who have stuck by your side deserve better. Lacrosse as a whole deserves better.
