The LFL, going strong in its first year, issued its first suspension. Dallas Dream’s, Annie Haner, was suspended from this past weekends game against San Deigo’s Seduction. Since this was her first offense, the league opted to not issue a fine with the suspension. Mitchell Mortaza, Founder and Chairman of the LFL made this announcement:
Annie Haner is an incredible talent who plays with a lot of intensity and passion for the game, exactly what we want from all LFL players. However, we are trying to establish crediblity as a league and cannot afford outbursts like the one Annie displayed on Sept 25th against the Denver Dream. Our ladies are professional athletes with young women now aspiring to one day perhaps play in the LFL, our players actions and words have to reflect that of a role model.
Our players are held to the same standards as any NFL, MLB or NBA player and we as a league and my office specifically has to to take action in accordance to send a message.
The LFL seems to have it all, great players, hot girls, tempered outbursts and a highlight reel! Look forward to a long LFL life…
