Oh yeah; lacrosse.

That's for those who participate in Curling in the off-season, right?

Two REALLY well-attended "sports".

Lacrosse = Curling. LOL

Apart from that, the "limp-wristedness" of a sport is determined by how many spectators watch? LOL, again.

I suppose I should have never played water polo . . . funny, that . . . we could never find any football players to play with us.

Lacrosse is third in attendance in the NCAA behind football and basketball. It’s also the fastest growing sport in America.

Attend a Lacrosse final four. It is a little like rugby but faster and with sticks. Awesome athletes.

How many people have to attend an event to take the quotaton marks off “sports” also, why is that relevant?

My husband played lacrosse, brother football. My brother wished our HS had offered lacrosse because he thinks it's like “football with weapons”. There's a lot of hitting, speed and athleticism. My daughter wouldn't play like dad wanted her to because in women's lacrosse there's no hitting allowed! I love football more then lacrosse, but even Jim Brown at Syracuse, who played both lacrosse and obviously football, said he liked lacrosse better and it took more skill. It is said at Syracuse that Jim Brown was one of the best lacrosse players of all time. There's obviously not much footage but we've seen him playing football, I'd love to find some video of his lacrosse days!
