The real issue is that Inside Lacrosse along with several other publications have written articles about the importance for the sport to shake it's "Lax Bro, rich kids-behaving-badly" image. The tragic event at UVA, the media circus surrounding Duke and the hazing incidents at Cornell and Bucknell have only reinforced the bratty, entitled public perception of the sport. If the most important rankings and evaluations are coming from a preppy underachiever who tweets about his hangovers, it's really not helping lacrosse gain any kind of credibility.
