I can't believe adults are this wound up over middle school lacrosse. Everyone thinks they know the reason for everything and how the world will turn out. Insecurities abound and demonizing is the rule. Here's a thought- since most girls won't be getting full rides how about sending them to good schools so they don't have to depend on the outrageous advice of the week from Back of the Cage to go to college. Lacrosse ends in college for all useful purposes- what happens if your daughter gets injured? Worry about real issues and your daughter will have an identity after college.
