It's about the kids. They really do enjoy playing lacrosse and the competition. It's not just the tourney organizers making money. The travel/tourism industry is making a nice profit on the families who couldn't participate because they are vacationing. No need to be jaded, cynical and grumpy. Do you have a child that you feel is being forced to participate? My son had a choice and he decided he's going to show up tomorrow and shoot for the corners. Good luck to all who stand between him and the back of the cage!
