lickin_starfish 1,482 Posted June 17, 2018 I grew up playing lacrosse. A man's game of speed and power. It coincided with golf season, so I didnn't have any interest in golf. I classify golf, darts, horseshoes, and bowling as carnival games. They are activities that you could participate in to win a stuffed animal. No physical fitness is needed for any of them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,660 Posted June 17, 2018 Football was a fall sport, lacrosse was a spring sport. Most of us played both. There you go. At my school not many Lax players crossed over. Preppies. I don't think the helmet in lacrosse is really necessary. Definetly not the girly shoulder pads. No one is really getting hit out there.

lickin_starfish 1,482 Posted June 17, 2018 Maybe the rules have changes since I played? We used to lower the shoulder and pop people, and slash the shiit out of each other. The pussification continues I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,646 Posted June 17, 2018 In virtually every other sport, the racket or equivalent is shaped and designed for maximum effect. The hockey stick? Best way to deal with a puck that is flush mounted against the ice. The baseball bat? The tennis racket? But then you get to golf. And they realize that just hitting a ball in wide open green spaces really wasn't that hard. So I know! Let's bend the bottom of it at some random ass angle. Okay that'll be the sport. If the people who invented golf brought us bowling, I swear to Christ the ball would be square and the lane would be sloped like a velodrome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pussification continues I guess. growing up on the west coast, there were not as many teams. quite a few would stay in shape for football by playing lacrosse in the spring.. not a lot of regard for the rules and they were just out to hit. it has grown a bit over the past 30-40 years and we have seen both number of teams and technical skills increase greatly.
