lacrosse

Fast, hard, vicious and a hell of a lot of fun. in box lacrosse, cross-checking, slashing and a variety of other things like that are legal. there are tons of rules, but mostly the basic "don't do this, don't do that" types. the refs generally give you some leeway too, so it gets rough. even with the pads, i've seen a guy's arm snap right through them, and you never come out of a game unscathed. if you aren't sore and bruised by the end, you aren't working hard enough. the object is a nice, simple "get the ball in the net", with no off-sides and very few illegal procedures ( there are a couple in minor, i'm not sure about senior). apparently, it's played in the U.K. as a non-contact sport for girls private schools. this is bullshit, i can list quite a few girls who could kick my ass at full-contact lacrosse, and besides, it just gives the sport a bad name over there. calling non-contact lacrosse a sport is like calling touch football (that would be american football, not soccer)a sport. if someone ever tells you that lacrosse is a sport for pussies and fags, never believe a word that comes out of their mouths again. drag them down to a game and make them watch as some guy gets his head taken off by a high-stick. they don't know what the hell their talking about. it's the fastest sport on two feet, it's as violent as rugby, it's more fun to watch than hockey and it just plain kicks baseball's ass. it is one of the best sports ever invented, and no one can legitamately tell you otherwise

damn the natives got something great going here
