Like the great Mike Moran said after 9/11 kiss my irish bleep.


I agree, don't minorities already get race based scholarships?
Maybe we should have racial quotas for basketball. I also worked my way through my undergraduate and post graduate programs. My advice is to move to a place where grass grows.


I have NEVER been called progressive, or forward thinking, but are you people actually saying that inner city black kids should be kept out of lacrosse so that suburban white kids can remain dominant and have the scholarship money to themselves?...WOW!!! Thanks you guys make me feel really good about myself.


The reality is once the game is exposed to inner city kids with quality coaching in a matter of 5 years many of the scholarship offers will start to get spread out to all ethnic backgrounds . That is what all of you are scared of
