10/11 Lacrosse Gear

the goalies have the one hard job on the field, but i dock them a few points for wasting their time and talent on a game of ball-in-bag invented by a bunch of drunk indians who needed an easy game after a few too many bottles of fire water
 
if you think field lax is so easy take a look at box lax. the goal is like 3 feet wide and 3 feet tall and the playing area is the same as a hockey rink
 
thats like saying skiing was invented by a bunch of social outcasts who like smoking pot and not bathing. Lacrosse was something they did sober, its a part of their religion, and in many cases was used as an alternative to war. Do you even play any sports? i gaurentee you every kid on my team and all my friends who play lacrosse are 100% more athletic than you will ever be.
 
Why the hell do you lax players compare skiing to lax and other sports? You know damn right skiing takes more skill and is harder. Skiing can't compare to anything. Its too awesome to compare to.
 
You go field line drives and then go hit Randy Johnson's fastball. Baseball wasn't meant to be a contact sport, just takes a shit ton of technique and practice.
 
This. %90 of people in this thread have no clue what they're talking about, and have most likely never seen a lax game in real life.
 
Ive yet to meet one baseball player who could keep up in a PICKUP game of lacrosse, let alone under the lights on game night.
 
Exactly. You can piss and moan all you want about which sport is best but you know damn right skiing can't be compared to anything else. What would you rather do? Get your ass fucking rocked on the field by some dude and take a metal pole to your face or lap the park with friends or Hike a ridge line and get first tracks in a bowl on a blower pow day? Oh and LAXbro, You say you've seen retarded people ski? http://www.leaguelineup.com/welcome.asp?url=adaptivelacrosse Theres such thing as adaptive lacrosse you know. Literally anyone can play lacrosse regardless of your athletic abilities.
 
"You can piss and moan all you want about which sport is best" And then
"you know damn right skiing can't be compared to anything else" Made me LOL.
 
a blind parapalegic cant play lacrosse. And i would much rather get layed out on the crease while scoring the game winner in OT against a rival than ski pow any day. Thats why lacrosse is better than skiing, on a team you have a brotherhood, skiing is a bunch of whinny bitches who run their mouth and talk shit behind each others backs.
 
ive witnessed blind skiers, paraplegic skiers, skiers without arms and more wierd shit. dont tell me skiing isnt an adaptive sport. "literally anyone can (ski) regardless of you athletic abilities"

Your only focusing on the negative aspects of lax.. what about scoring a goal or anything? what about negative things about skiing like getting raped by a rail or tweaking your knee?
 
Some intriguing debaters you guys are. I tip my hat to you. I'll be honest, I don't know jack shit about lacrosse. But from what I've witnessed, Some good shit about it is I'm sure it builds endurance and strength. Builds self confidence and self esteem from scoring a goal and in a sense, It helps your reflexes and hand-eye coordination. Same goes for skiing. You stomp a new trick, it builds your confidence. You're whizzing through trees, It helps you become better at noticing things in your surroundings.
 
Not completely true. Why would you compare two completely different sports, I wouldn't expect you to keep up w/ Kobayashi. Anyone who plays baseball doesn't just play baseball. They're are plenty of athletic kids that play ball and several other sports. A lot of baseball players would hang with you and most likely rape you because of sheer size. I don't know why you think baseball is for pussys. you must not have met many baseball players...
 
of course, just pinched my first head the other day, turned out great.. im in the process of stringing it
 
im 6'2 200 lbs with 8% body fat. I will not be raped anytime soon. Ive met alot of baseball players, a lot of D1 ones as well. And they even say our condition is 100x harder than theirs. Each sport has its very hard aspects and its easy ones. Its just ignorant to say lacrosse is a sport for untalented people. When you need the speed of a track athlete, hand eye coordination and body control of a baseball player, and the size of a football player.
 
I'm about the same size as you and Barry Bonds with a metal pole given the chance (regardless of substance abuse) WILL RAPE YOU. The main reason why your condition is 100x harder is because they are in much tougher situations, It doesn't take much technique to lower your shoulder and level someone just good genes and hard work in the gym. When you say "Each sport has its very hard aspects and its easy ones. Its just ignorant to say lacrosse is a sport for untalented people," I completely agree but when was baseball a sport for untalented people? You don't need the speed of a track athlete, hand eye coordination and body control of a baseball player, and the size of a football player, to play lacrosse it just benefits your performance like any other sport(mostly). It just surprises me that you would throw baseball under the bus.
 
you got me. almost thwarted by semi-respectful responses, what a shame. almost had the ball rolling on laxbro though, he had already gotten to the "you must suck at sports" phase. i did really play lax and other sports in high school well, just always thought lax was a bit silly and too easy to score in

but yeah i just hammed it up for a reaction.. all sports are stupid as shit, theyre just games we make up to entertain ourselves but end up getting really good at them and gaining from them in a lot of ways, and having a lot of fun
 
Yes generally they are because its a contact sport, you cant say ALL LAX PLAYERS ARE BIGGER, FASTER, AND STRONGER then baseball players though.
 
Damn you a big bitch. And to play at a high level, you do need all of those things. What people fail to realize is most D1 lacrosse players, were 3 sport athletes in HS and had D1 offers for every sport. Off the top of my head I know 5 people who play D1 lax and also had D1 basketball and football offers. I dont know any baseball player who had offers like that.
 
well i got a super power on my normal game stick but i got a kickass brine lax stick at good will haha. the head was super stiff and wide so i just torched it and tied the middle together and put it in the freezer for a couple hours.
 
Not really, being better at one aspect could easily make up for the other. "Off the top of my head I know 5 people who play D1 lax and also had D1 basketball and football offers," Probably because Football and LAX are similar because they both rely on strength and speed, dumbass. When did basketball ever relate to Football and LAX it's not even a contact sport. You failed to mention Michael Jordon, went professional in both Baseball and Basketball. LAX isn't that popular at all so it would be a lot easier to break out in that sport compared to any other because you don't have nearly as much competition.
 
Im saying people who play lacrosse are more athletic, because they can play at with the best in multiple sports. You used michael jordan as an example, thats like ushing stephan hawking as an example. he wasnt even pro it was AAA.
