[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lacrosse has always had an "elite" image.

While it is changing somewhat, the best teams are still private schools and boarding schools.

The lax families enjoy this exclusivity, foster the image, and aren't particularly interested in making the sport more widely available to the masses.

All this gets into the heads of the players. The Lax Bro is just a manifestation of all this elitism.

Stupid post.  Why is the responsibility to the lacrosse community to make the sport available to the masses.  No one is stopping anyone from playing lacrosse.  Its up to kids and their parents to decide what sports they want to play and they are simply choosing other sports.  Playing competitive football, soccer, baseball etc. is all just as expensive as lacrosse and no one is bad mouthing those sports or calling them elitist.

Montgomery Village was once the premier program in Montgomery County (produced Paul Rabil and others) but folded their lacrosse program as the demographics changed and the residents played sport that were much more culturally important.  Believe me no one was turning away minorities or low income families quite the opposite.   [/quote]
