On Tuesday, days before the 3rd annual Premier Lacrosse League championship game, Paul Rabil retired from playing professional lacrosse.
It was a small ceremony in Washington, D.C., sparsely attended by media and friends. It lacked all of the pomp and circumstance that one has come to expect from anything the PLL has a hand in.
Which was more a statement than a mistake.
