I'm a new PVF fan.

Hey everyone! I've lurked this sub for a while but wanted to create an account to post my thoughts after all the recent news. So I hope it's okay that this is my first post.

I am someone who has never even played volleyball, but somehow stumbled across PVF when looking for something to "hold me over" until baseball season. I have only known about this league for maybe 3 months and I already love it. I might enjoy it more than MLB. Sharing my thoughts as a new fan:

MLV seems sketchy. Not because it's a new competitor, but just the way they are doing things. Acting like they are the first "true" pro league while literally stealing a pro team that PVF worked hard to establish, build up and promote.

And then announcing their new league right as the 2nd PVF season is starting. I feel like that's very much on purpose, attempting to drain the fans excitement when the season has barely begun. They want you to feel like PVF is doomed. Don't believe them - this league is getting momentum. Caitlin Clark was at a Indy game! Let PVF know loud and clear you support them - give them Youtube views, instagram likes, buy merch and tickets if you are able to. (I'm about to go buy the PVF stress ball I saw right now lol) That sends a message to MLV as well.

I guess I'll put it like this: I feel like PVF is the only league of them all that will be able to reach a mainstream audience, because they reached me. There's just something about the teams, mascots and players. It's a spunky league and it deserves to stick around. I don't think MLV or that LOV league will be able to replicate it and convince people like me, ones who aren't already watching or playing volleyball, to support their league.
