[quote=Anonymous]From what I've seen the culture problem in lacrosse is real.   An aggressive sport that's also expensive and elitist can make a toxic combo.   Several younger lacrosse players (12-14) live in our N. California neighborhood, and the neighbors joke that you don't want to let home buyers know you live next to the lacrosse team.   When they get together, a lot of how they act is trivial but unpleasant -- they're the guys who are always ding dong ditching the neighbors, yelling things or filming themselves on their ipods giving the finger to people they think are less cool.   There is a boy on our street who has Asperger's, is a sweet kid but very unathletic, and the lacrosse kids have bullied him a lot, putting dog s*** on his bike seat, grabbing his stuff and taking it from him, once pinning him to the ground.    Most of the kids I know in other sports don't seem to have quite this entitled mentality.   So I was pretty happy when my son quit lax and took up soccer instead.   That said, I'm sure it varies with the kids and the coach.   The game itself is fun, and maybe as the sport expands it will lose some of its less attractive culture.  [/quote]
