Different hues for posters that often change names. It's like a warning system then.

3-0 after a come from behind overtime win over Richmond.

I don't follow lacrosse, but I always like to see a Marquette team do well. I also appreciate that Anonymous Eagle supports our teams, women's soccer, lacrosse, whatever, and not just basketball. Big ups to AE for their coverage.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

I went to a few of your games back in the day.

f uckin' vagrant.

I find it a bit odd, but it's wonderful at the same time.

Is lacrosse a rich person's sport? If so, I should like totally try it out.

All I know is that if you look at a list of the high schools in Illinois that have varsity Lacrosse, it is almost exclusively the ones in the wealthier school districts.  I don't think it is necessarily an expensive sport to participate in.

Out here, it definitely maps to upper income areas.

Definitely no Lacrosse teams in East St. Louis or CPS.

It's weird though, on paper it's cheaper then football.

The expense is probably due to fields needed in addition to those used for football, soccer, etc.

Okay,  they have lacrosse at a magnet school. I stand corrected.   What about Simeon or Marshall?

This is a photo from Morgan State's Lacrosse wikipedia page. An HBCU. Why are you saying its Whitney Young's team? Is it possible that you typed in "all black lacrosse team" into google but couldn't find any high schools so you took the first picture you saw and said it was from a random CPS school? All to try to say Chick is wrong? C'mon man. Plus, this picture is from 1975, not 2008. Do you see the haircuts and outfits?

Here's the search results from googling "all black lacrosse team" https://www.google.com/search?q=all+black+lacrosse+team&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS565US565&espv=2&biw=1536&bih=777&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=ajLrVJTcJ8O5ggSAroDAAQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg

Here's the wikipedia page the picture is taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_State_Bears_lacrosse

And here's a picture of Whitney Young's actual LAX Team:

I believe Sperry topsiders are the regulation footwear.

So is archery.  The origin of the sport matters.

Lincoln park and lane tech had teams when I was in HS. Heck I played on Lane's my freshman year of high school.

It was supposed to be more of a joke than a troll but I guess it wasn't as obvious as I thought.

I think you pulled some people in, but it was well done.

IMO, it has to do with who is playing.  This sport isn't being played in the poorer neighborhoods, despite the expense.  I have a number of friends with sons that play this game and they have often opined this is a way to let their dudes get physical, hit people, without mommies getting all bent about their kids playing football.  It's a happy medium.

Almost all of them live in either Scottsdale, beach communities in California, or places like Anaheim Hills, other well to do locations.
