Lacrosse is teh gay (split)

[Zinista]

what the fuck is "lax". is that like laxitive? as in stuff you have to take after getting your ass pounded :lol:

A couple of people are getting a little 'uptight' on the subject.. They should just Re'lax'..

 

[Bob_Box]

since its called la"cross"e people that are lazy use an X instead ..... just like when you see on the road a pedestrian Xing meaning crossing

I am not a lacrosse fan because it is not a hard sport to play. I have played before so I do know what I am talking about. All you have to do is keep a ball in a stick with a deep pocket and avoid getting the ball checked out, which is hard because of the deep pocket. There is little cordination needed compared to football, baseball, basketball ect.

A kid at Cornell died just the other week

If you are going to mention it, tell the whole story. The injury he suffered was not just a lacrosse injury, it can happen in any sport. Baseball and Hockey have both had this happen. It is caused by a ball hitting a persons chest hard at a very exact moment between heart beats causing the person to die.

It doesn't happen very often in baseball because you know the ball is coming at you. In lax the shots are coming at speeds of up to 100 mph. The goalie are screened by other players so you can't see it coming sometimes. Hockey it came happen too but goalies have much thicker chest pads. Mastercool, it is def. not as easy as you say. When you are playing against Division 1 defenseman, who have been crafting their skills for years. The check extremely hard and accurate. There is so much difficulty in the sport. It is very hard to be a very good player. Anyone can be an average player as in any other sport. To be a skilled player takes year and years of practicing 7 times a week and throwing asainst the wall for hours to perfect your stick skills. I know I have been playing for 8 years and have crafter some pretty good skills but there is always someone better, faster, and stronger. Let's stop ripping on lacrose please. It's a very personal topic to me. I've sweat and bled playing for years and don't like it when people undermine the talent it requires to play the sport.

It's called a Randy Johnson 2 seam fastball kid. Which can reach up to 100 MPH and a baseball coming at you at those speeds is like being hit by a rock. When dude's throwing those balls from 60 feet away, you're gonna need all the luck in the world to get the fuck outta it's way.

I love baseball, yes its slow and over run by fat, lazy steriod ridden rejects, but the accual game is a blast. I do however, have to give lacross props. Its not the most intense sport or the most physical but it has its nich and following. Just like rugby, (which I do play.) So kudos to all of ya'll sticking up for lacross, but the movie "American Pie" made me think lacross was indeed, for pussies.

 

[scottbritt]

Lacrosse is for real men as rugby is. So if you wanna make fun of lax..... fuck off.

 

[MasterCool]

Real men don't need sticks to hit other men 8)


Players don't die in lacrosse because of that injury any more then in other sports. I would rather have a lacrosse ball coming at me then a hockey puck ( I don't even like hockey, but thats a whole different story, im american :wink: ) or a baseball coming at me from the pitcher or off the bat of a hitter.

Theres a reason half of the country has no clue what lacrosse is......

Lax

No MATTER WHAT...FOOTBALL IS THE BEST...And Lax Is brutal too...And By THE WAY THE PATS SUCK BALLZ..."FUCK THE PATS"!!

 

[Anonymous]

GO PATS!!

 

[Doc1490]

Whoever says lacrosse is a homo sport obviously has never played it. I played goalie and it was the most fun and the hardest thing I ever did. You try to stop 100 mph shots (btw, a lacrosse ball is a small concrete core covered in rubber) with just a chest protector and helmet and then call it a homo sport. It's the same way that only a fucking ferrie could say that rugby and football players are pansies. People who play these sports may not be the most athletic compared to basketball or the like, but they sure as hell are tough.


P.S. Screw the pats, go bears.

 

[scottbritt]

Good work Doc lax is the shit. What state did you play in?

 

[Doc1490]

I played in Chicago- I actually started a club lax team at my high school. It's starting to get big in the area.

 

[scottbritt]

Thats awesome man. Did yoy play like New Trier and Loyola? I have buddies from Chicago. I went to school in California at the top lax high school on the west coast.

 

[Doc1490]

We are scrimaging Loyola now but New Trier's way out of our league (damn really rich public schools...) I went to Fenwick in Oak Park and the club actually didn't really get rolling till after I left; my senior year, it was basically like 10 guys who shot around twice a week. I mostly played in some outside leagues sponsored by Lacrosse America.

 

[Cman]

you can't argue with the topic title. it says that lacrosse is gay, so that must mean it is :lol:

 

[singhr]

I dunno. It just seems that most guys who play "lax" :wink: play nothing else. So they gotta act tough because everyone knows that jocks are tough :wink:

 

[scottbritt]

I actually played football,basketball,and lacrosse all four years during high school . Most of the kids on my team were either football, soccer, or basketball players. In fact I think there was only like 4 kids on our team that were just lacrosse players. Nice try to make fun of lacrosse though. :wink:
You guys should watch the NCAA semifinals and finals on ESPN and you will see lacrosse at its finest. Just watch the finals on Memorial day weekend on ESPN2 and ESPN then you can make comments about lacrosse.

 

[singhr]

I've watched it a few times. It's rough. But still..... I find it boring
