[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe the physicality of the sport (contact, aggression) attracts a certain type of boy who is by nature more aggressive, physical, and confident?  Similar to football? My son, who plays tennis, disdains the LAX BROS as well.  But he also reports that the worst students (in his words, the most "stupid" kids) also tend to be lacrosse players, and I don't know why this would be true, unless it is part of the culture to act as though school is "uncool."[/quote]

My tennis playing son says the exact same thing.  He said a teacher at his all boys' school once asked who played lacrosse, and all of the worst students raised their hands.  Of course there are exceptions, but not enough to dislodge the stereotype.  Son also reports that the lacrosse players are the guys he knows who drink and smoke pot.[/quote]

Hmmm.  Not sure which school you're at.  But at ours, one of the all boys schools talked about quite a bit on this board, the lacrosse boys consistently end up at the best colleges.  They may not have the highest gpa, or perfect scores, but it would appear that their lacrosse skills help make up for that.  Not sure I would call that "stupid" in the grand scheme of things.[/quote]
