I work on wall street. Nobody gives a sh#t about lacrosse nor are we impressed with anyone who used to play lacrosse. It is a niche sport at best. I think it is a lot of fun, but realistically as a men's sport, it's a cut above badminton or fencing to the vast majority of the world.

Advice to "elitist wannabees"-- invest in golf lessons for your kids. Unless your son is a pro prospect (by pro, I mean baseball, football, or basketball), competence on the golf course is the only athletic endeavor that matters to anyone beyond the age of 22.

Is the issue with the "white" or "middle class" part of the claim?

"white middle class sport"?

Perhaps. But when they start spawning, the wannabes' interest in the sport is reignited, and they become the ultimate loud, ultra-competitive, and whiny stage parents, ensuring that the species will survive for yet another generation . . .

Abusive loudmouth parents are not limited to lacrosse.

The passion for lacrosse is similar to that of hockey. Its fans don't lose interest and remain involved well beyond their high school years. Look at all the master/grandmaster leagues sprouting.

Because lacrosse is a predominantly white middle class sport, it is a safe and easy target for the media. Some call it a meathead sport while others say it's a sport for future wall streeters. All gross inaccurate generalizations.

Yikes! Happy Holidays everyone

Oh yes it is.

Can either or both of you elaborate?

Do the MoCo schools have any lax subcultures? I see quite a bit of boys wearing LAX clothing/hats, etc. around the Whitman, BCC, and Wootten hangouts.

"Bro" is just another term affluent white kids appropriated from the black vernacular. Kind of like "You go girl" for white women. And let's not forget the terrorist fist bump.

Getting irate at an anonymous poster on an anonymous board makes you look like an even bigger idiot.

Don't say that laxbros don't exist, that's just stupid. At least acknowledge the issue. Denial just makes you look like an idiot.

Since you made it personal.
F@#$ you.
Get a life.
I'm done wasting my time trying to find something valuable on this website amongst all the crap.

Isn't a "Laxbro" just a surfer-dude (wanna-be) who plays with a stick instead of a board?
