National Lacrosse League

Not surprisingly, the indoor lacrosse league is taking off even more and this year they are expanding into Boston. The Boston Blazers will join the eastern division and the Minnesota Swarm are moving to the west.

So, why is it that this sport keeps getting bigger and bigger, but the coverage still stinks? I was just over one the Denver Post website and they have the following headings under sports:
Columnists
Avalanche
Broncos
Nuggets
Rockies
Colleges
Preps
Rapids
Crush
LAX
Photos
Extreme
Snow Sports
Golf
Olympics
Motor Sports
Youth
TV

First of all, if they are going to group the two Lacrosse teams in Colorado under one heading, LAX, shouldn't they also bundle the two football teams under a single heading? On top of that, aren't the Mammoth more popular than the Crush, so ranked in order of importance, shouldn't they come before them? Also, if these are ranked, and I have to assume they are to some degree due to it not being in alphabetical order, shouldn't a professional lacrosse team rank up there with Hockey and Football, and not in some categorized heading?
