Off topic but relevant. LA 2028 has approved lacrosse, as a Sixes game, for the 2028 Olympics. Great news.
It's better than nothing. I don't understand why do a Sixes game other than to level the playing field a bit as most other countries will be far behind the US.
It was created in 2018 as mixture of traditional lacrosse and box lacrosse. It immediately became popular outside the US. I think that was a major reason the go Sixes as it does have an international following. It’s basically a middie game. It’s also a perfect TV sport as the games are a fast 32 minutes. It’s a bit down the road but I can’t wait to see what a US team will look like.
Also because it helps even out the playing field. The olympic committee did not want to see team USA win every game by 15 goals in the olympics. Other countries simply don't have the depth to keep up. Sixes somehow helps mitigate that ever so slightly. Will still be a tall task to hang with USA
