[quote=Anonymous]Let's face it, like it or not, the stereotypical LAX  player in high school and college is an arrogant, well-to-do, women-are-disposable goods, asshole.  Go ahead and burn through dozens of threads flaming me or attempting to make the case otherwise.  But it's simply the perception out there.

I'm sure the answer is multi-layered and I do not profess to have all the answers save one.  It has been, and I know this is changing, a sport populated by prep school boys and the wealthy east coast suburban public school set.  There is a sense among both parents and students that this sport is somehow different in its exclusivity.  Not many people play it.  Not many people are given the opportunity to play it.  It's like the Skull and Bones of sports.  Those in the club skew rich, so there is already much potential for a sense of entitlement/arrogance, and this sense of clubbiness and exclusivity resulting from the LAX experience only fans the flames of asshole-ness.
