[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Went to my first fall ball games this weekend and see what folks have been talking about. The lax parents are really annoying. Dads walking around with an intense posture, wearing visors and pastel shorts. Yelling worthless advice to players on the field when they can't even be heard. Whining about (supposed) player and ref mistakes on the field.
My kids love lax and I will of course continue to support them, but this is a parental world that is so foreign to me and embarrassing. So much of what's been posted on this thread now makes  sense. 
Maybe it's not unique to lax, but this intense emotional over involvement can't be good for anyone.  [/quote]

Wow very different from the fall ball high school game I attended today. Most parents were sitting except a few taking some pictures, and chatting after not seeing each other since last spring.  There was brief clapping when a goal was scored.  [/quote]

Having been to many lax games, I call BS on this post.  I've never been to any lax game that could be described that way!  That's not meant as an insult by the way-just reality.

Fess up, what teams did you watch and we'll see if others agree with your description.[/quote]

I agree.  I've been to a ton of lacrosse games (club and otherwise) for my son and this describes exactly zero of them.  I've never noticed much of a difference between lacrosse sidelines and say baseball, basketball, or soccer, despite people always saying this.  It's the kind of thing that if you are primed to think it, then it becomes self-fulfilling.  But in reality it's just not true.      [/quote]
