[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know some really nice boys playing LlAx— but usually from Catholic or Christian HSs. And some real jackwads. The jackwads tend to have rich daddies who are trying to relive their jock glory days through their sons, with an added dose of social snobbery.  Leads to very entitled kids. And before you jump on me, then if that does not describe your family, I am probably not thinking about your kid.

And BTW— this phenomena is not limited to boys or sports in the DMV. Lots of parents trying to relieve their youth by buying their daughters $1000 outfits, or luxury cars, or pushing their kid into an Ivy, or to be the best flute player ever. Not for the kids benefit, but to feed their own ego. [/quote]

I think the social snobbery factor is a good point.  Not anyone can play lacrosse.  It's an expensive sport for one (equipment, club fees).  It's also still a sport with hotbed areas like the DMV, and pockets in CT and NY.  The only non-east coast club teams to speak of all spring from ultra-exclusive areas in CA and TX.  Thankfully the sport is expanding geographically.  Still, it'll remain an "elite" sport and that will in turn feed into lax bro/elitist/frat culture.[/quote]
