Lax is a contact sport, really? Get real, you want to be the tough guy, step on the football field. These guys wouldn't last one day of practice. It's easy lining up 5'7" 155lb guys.
Nobodys comparing it to football there superhero, simply pointing out that lacrosse is a contact sport and theres no reason for them to be trying to take the contact out of it. Oh and last time I checked a good majority of high school lax kids also play football. College football is a different deal I get it, but lets relax with the tough guy stuff......
