lacrosse players are pretty much cut from the same mold. parted haircut that hangs in their face, tuck their t-shirts into their corny lacrosse shorts (but only tuck the front part of their shirt in), terrible sounding name (like harrison or aiden), think lacrosse is the best sport on the planet, etc.
most of these guys can't dribble a basketball three times without it bouncing off their foot, but somehow they all played college lacrosse.0 -

I played soccer and lacrosse, was highly regarded in both at a regional level. Was terrible at basketball but also hated playing it. Never really like organized sports in doors. Played D2 college soccer in the best conference in the country. And I also have a fairly annoying name.
While I would agree that most people who are half way decent at lacrosse would be able to find a division 3 school to play at (as I would argue is the case with any sport), I played with an All American in high school who didn't get recruited by the big schools. Played division 1, but on the second tier. Pretty difficult to get into those programs.0 -
a lot of stereotypes are accurate. PA drivers, lacrosse guys, dave matthews fans, girls with tattoos on their lower backs, etc.Cliffy6745 said:

isn't lacrosse the oldest sport in the US? why is the majority of it only played in four states? probably because it sucksPost edited by The Fixer on0 -
I love baseball, was my favorite sport to play, and while it was not the sport I was best at in high school (I went to USC and had no fucking prayer of playing any sports at the college level there!) I would hardly describe baseball as a sport for big time athletes. You have to have certain gifts -- and you have to work like a dog to develop them - to excel at baseball but there are some UN-athletic looking dudes that play ball.Cliffy6745 said:

Baseball requires more athletic talent than lacrosse?The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -
most of the successful D-1 lacrosse programs are good academic schools...hopkins, syracuse, virginia, duke, princeton, towson, etc. I'm sure that weeds out who qualifies to play there to an extent.
Also seems like there are ton of podunk schools in middle of nowhere that have college programs where anyone who can hold a lacrosse stick and run at the same time can make the team.
I don't think your name is douchey sounding either.0 -

Because it was a regional native american sport. I would say that the boom in the last 15 years or so shows how good of a sport it actually is.0 -

Young people (and even older people) aren't watching baseball because there are two many distractions and information. Baseball is way too slow for a kid that has a mobile computer in their pockets. It's why records sales are way down. No one wants to listen to a whole album anymore.
And yes, steroids do make baseball better! The McGwire / Sosa '98 homerun chase was one of the most epic sporting events ever and we were all into it even though it should have been obvious they were on the juice.Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0 -

Lacrosse is a pretty expensive sport so it is usually played by middle class and up, outside of the reservations at least. I would say that has a large part to do with why those schools excel.The Fixer said:most of the successful D-1 lacrosse programs are good academic schools...hopkins, syracuse, virginia, duke, princeton, towson, etc. I'm sure that weeds out who qualifies to play there to an extent.
Also seems like there are ton of podunk schools in middle of nowhere that have college programs where anyone who can hold a lacrosse stick and run at the same time can make the team.
I don't think your name is douchey sounding either.
I agree with that. But those poduck soccer, baseball and football teams are no different than the lacrosse team. All made up of shitty athletes.
I got recruited to play division 3 football by a number of schools and I never stepped foot on a football field in my life.
You don't know my middle name. It is as white as it gets, haha.Post edited by Cliffy6745 on0 -

Seriously, your father? Jim Brown played lacrosse too. It was a very different time. Like I said, the sport has boomed in the last 15 years. This area was terrible forever and how it has a few of the top high schools in the country.The Fixer said:

Wasn't for kicker. D-3 football coaches will take any athlete and "teach" them football.

attendance in mlb is at record levels. the premise that baseball is dying is a media fallacyJason P said:Young people (and even older people) aren't watching baseball because there are two many distractions and information. Baseball is way too slow for a kid that has a mobile computer in their pockets. It's why records sales are way down. No one wants to listen to a whole album anymore.
And yes, steroids do make baseball better! The McGwire / Sosa '98 homerun chase was one of the most epic sporting events ever and we were all into it even though it should have been obvious they were on the juice.
lacrosse is the new soccer. I remember when the world cup was in the US in '94 people were saying soccer was going to be the biggest sport in the US in 10-15 years. yeah...that um, didn't happen0 -

Soccer has the second highest youth participation behind basketball. Lacrosse is having the fastest growth of any sport, though still regional. Both things are good things, I think. That said, it is stupid to think that either will ever be as popular as other sports at a national level because of the lack of a quality professional league. That doesn't necessarily make the sports less successful from a mass interest standpoint, it just makes them less successful from a business standpoint. I started going to the lacrosse final 4 when it was played at the University of Maryland and Rutgers. Now they rotate between the Linc, the Ravens Stadium and the Patriots stadium.0 -
It also comes down to money. If you are an elite US athlete which sport would you focus on. NBA you can go into when you are 19 and any 1st round pick will get a guaranteed contract that will pay millions. NFL you can go into when you are 2 years past high school and pays millions if you can be an early round draft pick. Baseball you will get a huge signing bonus but then have years of ridding buses and staying in dumpy motels while you move through the minors. I won't even bring up soccer as this is the US after all. That should say enough.Tom Brady & Donald Trump, BFF's

yeah agreed. you know me well enough by now that I don't judge things based on popularity. I do find the regionalization of lacrosse odd though. Upsate NY, long island, maryland, and parts of virginia are the hotbeds. I'm sure there are small pockets in other parts of the country that play lacrosse, but the entire thing is weird to me.Cliffy6745 said:

Just curious, do those final four games sell out? I would think they would have the best chance down here where people are lacrosse fanatics. Don't think the gates would be as strong in philly or especially foxboro, which is the worst stadium logistical layout ever created.

Well, yeah and I agree with that too. Lacrosse is a native american (and Canadian) sport and really got going in Upstate NY and trickled down. I would assume Hopkins (and to a lesser extend UVA's success) had a bit to do with why it popped up down there and I assume spread down to the Carolina schools, though high school lacrosse in Carolina is terrible, but growing. Denver is a hot bed. It sounds weird since it was literally the first sport played in America, but it is still a young sport.The Fixer said:

No, but they get a good crowd. 30k-40K or so probably. Probably a bit too small for an NFL stadium but too big for anything else. Baltimore does well, but Philly does well because it is a bit more accessible for NY. I don't know why they do Foxboro. I only went there once. It is a fun weekend.
I am also not arguing it is the best sport. I am a baseball fan through and through. My initial point was just that it is a good sport and is the most fun sport I have ever played.0
