The Sting just moved to Miami (Coral Gables), and will be playing at the BankUnited Center on the campus of the University of Miami. The UIFL is officially out of the North!!!!

Tom Mitchell just guaranteed a championship or free season ticket renewals on radio.

Also said his team could beat the best 16 NFL player indoor sand kill them...

Holding AIF football

Post by SugarBear » Wed Feb 13, 2013 6:57 pm

Good call newiflfan.

They should have at least tried to throw the UIFL logo over the AIF ball the QB is holding.

If you are with the Sting and happen to read this go to:

There you can photoshop away, then shrink it down :)

same guys as Ontario Warriors

After poking some jabs and having a little fun with the Miami Sting using photos (uh, "cleverly" altered photos, haha) of the Ontario Warriors, I did a little digging and found Tom Mitchell was the president of the Ontario Warriors and Keith Evans was the head coach. Both now front the UIFL Miami Sting. At least pirating their photos makes a bit more sense now. I apologize if I'm late or missed this mentioned anywhere prior.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario_Warriors

According to a post on the AIF site from August 2012 (posted by N.Davis), Mitchell was "embezzling" from the team. This is straight from the AIF site.

Now look over to the UIFL Miami Sting's front office - same guys!!!

I know Dan -- it happened before, will happen again - haha beat ya to it. :)

I am just amazed how the Morris/Haines shenanigans just keep going and going with these teams and their leadership.

How are these guys not called out for the jokes they are.

Go to the main homepage of their website. There's a photo slideshow on there, and I'm willing to bet they are using a bunch of shots they don't have the rights to. Pretty sure I'm seeing AFL photos, might even see an old Wisconsin Wolfpack CIFL photo in the mix.

Good call newiflfan....they snatched up a bunch. I saw the Saginaw Sting in there (CIFL), Jacksonville Sharks & Tampa Bay Storm (AFL), Alabama Hammers (PIFL) , one looks like the West Texas Roughnecks (LSFL), then the kid holding the ball is an SIFL shot - Houston Stallions ball - so at least they're sharing the piracy (ah, I mean love) with other leagues.

I'll give them a pass of all the Warriors pictures because they probably took those themselves when they were part of the AIF.

Truly, I get it, they wanted photos on the site, but the UIFL as a league should supply them with the generic UIFL team photos and have the common sense to tell them that they are in obvious violation of copyrighted materials. I'm sure if some of the teams mentioned above, especially just the AFL teams and Jerry Kurz knew they were using unauthorized photos as such, a cease and desist letter would already be sitting on their desk.

It's a shame. I really like the indoor/arena game and would like to see some of these leagues really take off, but so much of the leadership at this level is so pitiful, deceitful and misguided. Shame.
