    Lacrosse is the sport of the petite bourgeois. Equipment is expensive, you could easily spend several thousands dollars on equipment if you wanted to. Adequate coaching for a team is hard to come by, so they naturally gravitate towards schools that are willing pay to pay for it which are private schools or public schools that have a lot of petite bourgeois enrollment. There are also a small amount of high schools that are able to have club (meaning that they do not receive funds from the school) teams from grants given out from lacrosse associations but they are much worse than the rest due to lack of experienced coaches. Lacrosse is the sport for kids who don’t want to play football but want the recognition of playing a sport. This in turn means that almost everyone who plays lacrosse is a huge fucking asshole. The only exception to this are First Nation/Native American teams who are not petite bourgeois assholes most of the time, but I have never played against them so this is just an assumption I could be wrong. These tendencies towards assholeness are only exemplified at the college level

    Anyway excuse my rant I just really fucking hated playing lacrosse and not just because I wished I was on the women’s team when I played

      We played lacrosse in Canada in the summertime. We just played in the hockey rinks( which didn't have ice in them in the summer).

      You don't really need expensive equipment.

    What's the materialist explanation here? Is this what bourgeois people be naming their children?
