[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lacrosse is a fascinating social science. Lacrosse parents are ok with these sleazoids like Cabell Maddox and Giblin having authority over them and their kids because they are lacrosse savants. Lacrosse parents will spend a second mortgage on a third tier prep school that has an elite lacrosse program. Lacrosse parents will spend tens of thousands on club or lacrosse events fees. All in the pursuit of having their son gather a 10% or 25% partial lacrosse scholarship for college. Here's the part where Landon or Bullis daddies go foaming from the mouth let you know THEIR son got a 80% scholarship, because the most awesome players really do get big bucks, so there!!!

How are people this stupid well capitalized enough to be able to afford all of this? Did an earlier generation of dolts find gold in the DMV earth or strike oil in backyards where I am just not aware of it? Or does working for a law firm or a lobbist on the Hill pickle the brain enough to just slip away into this lax bro abyss? I'd love to know and understand this someday. The funny DeadSpin stories about a lunatic dad moving his kid around club teams and trading childish emails with Cabell Maddox just doesn't do this enough justice. This is Pulitzer stuff for someone better.[/quote]

It is strange. I am a lax dad and don't understand all these petty, immature arguments about what school is dominating or what club team "rocks".  Who cares? Most of these guys never played themselves and are clearly living vicariously. I didn't believe the hype about this parent community being different but am starting to think otherwise. I just feel badly for their kids who will eventually physically and emotionally burn out. Competitive sports are a great part of life, but there's much more. [/quote]
