[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I played boy's/men's lacrosse in the 1980s and this is not new.  It is a jock culture that is not limited to one particular sport.  If you take a bunch of guys and have them spend 60 to 70 percent of thier time with the same bunch of guys, you get a group of guys with a limited world view of what is funny, what is acceptable behavior, what is "cool," etc..  The fact that you are a team only heightens the us vs everyone else mentality.

My views expanded when I got to college and stopped playing sports, because I was exposed to a greater variety of people.

When you have teams, like swiming, where the boy's and girl's team seem to interact more, I think you see less of a problem.[/quote]

I don't really understand this. I played sports and I have my BB friends, my school friends, my neighborhood friends. I have many brothers and 1/2 played high level sports and they had multiple groups of friends. Grant it they did not play LAX but they did play football and they did not just hang with the football team. They had multiple groups of friends and all the groups drank, etc. It was the 80s.[/quote]
