Wall Street's Lacrosse Fraternity Backs Rabil's New League
- PLL investors include Chernin Group, CAA and Blum Capital
- Advisory board also has David O’Connor, Barstool CEO Nardini
When Paul Rabil set out to raise money for his new outdoor lacrosse league, he knew he wouldn’t have to waste time explaining the game’s intricacies in pitch meetings.
“Lacrosse’s popularity on Wall Street is a well-known phenomenon, backed by decades of All-Americans graduating from elite institutions and taking their professional careers to New York,” said Rabil, a star player in Major League Lacrosse, the league that will soon become his primary competitor.
