[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so glad we avoided lacrosse.  And I even felt like I did not fit in as a parent on the soccer sidelines (rec).  I feel super comfortable as a swim mom, though.  And I really enjoy the other moms I have met as a ballet mom.  I also like all the fellow parents we meet at "intellectual" extracurriculars including:  Ideaventions, Curiosity Zone, and Language Stars.  OK, so that's the run-down on all my peeps. ;)  [/quote]

You're a nerd, not an athlete. Got it.[/quote]

Wow, middle school lets out so early these days.

[b]I think lacrosse *athletes* (boys anyway) have issues. [/b]You've all seen the drug-use surveys and heard the anecdotes. You'd think that would mean they had parents with entitlement mentalities, but it's hard to paint with such a broad brush.[/quote]

What an ignorant comment to make. And very irresponsible. My son is 17 has played for 7 years and is on what is arguably the best team in the area. He is also a straight A student who participates in comm. service every single weekend, goes to church, has a lovely girlfriend and is an all around great kid not good but great. I resent your statement and generalization.

Same could be said for football, baseball and bball players. I would never be so ignorant to make such a sweeping and false statement.[/quote]

A LOT of people feel this way about lacrosse players so, like it or not, this is something you and he have to get used to.  Side note, I wonder if George Huguely's mom ever posted on DCUM about what a wonderful kid he is.[/quote]

NP but you sound really angry and resentful no offense. And my kids don't even play lacrosse![/quote]

I'm not actually. I know some lacrosse players at the college level that are nice and decent boys and this is something they have to deal with.  They are aware of the immediate perceptions that people have of lacrosse players and know they have to overcome that.  The Huguely comment was obnoxious I admit but I really do wonder if his mother thought he was a great kid going to a top college, etc.[/quote]
