I think this was my last year coaching high school lacrosse. I barely recognize the game anymore. It makes me sick.
A bunch of people that never even played the sport have taken over and now want to change how the sport is played.
It's for our own good.
Gee, thanks.
It used to be a real warrior sport. Countless times over the past few years I've seen refs penalize a player for "aggressive play" or hitting too hard or some other made up rule. The strong, fast aggressive 205 pound kid who is playing his heart out completely by the rules needs to yield so someone's 128 pound kid can "participate" on a varsity team without earning it and without being afraid.
It's a contact sport. There are other leagues. Everyone should not get to play varsity. Everyone can't be the band leader. Everyone can't be the lead role in the play?! Everyone can't get first place in a race.
They're not going to stop until almost all of the contact and physical competition is gone.
...and they'll still have the nerve to call is lacrosse.
It is what it is.
You can now make honor role with two C's on your report card.
You can graduate with a .6 --- a point six. That's four tenths of a point less than a D.
A gym teacher lost their job last year for allowing a group of 30 boys to play dodge ball.
You can tell your teacher to F___ off to their face with no consequence as long as you have a documented case of oppositional defiance disorder or a mood disorder.
Warren is right.
The world is changing.
There will be rule changes.
Youth sports will be run by the gestapo.
...but
There are BILLION of dollars tied up in pro sports/college sports.
It's not going away.
