I'm glad some of you love Lacrosse and all but the times I have watched it it made water polo seem more exciting. Those stats are also crazy manipulated. Of course the growth numbers are crazy when you are talking about single digit thousands and comparing it to a sport like soccer that has hundreds of thousands. For instance just with a quick search Florida has over 113k kids registered for US Youth Soccer alone with your numbers showing Lacrosse with 8k.
The GPA number is also laughable, as though somehow playing Lacrosse makes you smarter. The only reason for that number is the places that have Lacrosse tend to be wealthy suburban schools that are going to always have higher GPA's than a more universal sport.
Our HS has a lacrosse team and so does the Middle school. Kind of hacks me off honestly that we have a lacrosse team in Middle school but no baseball team (a sport with 10X the participation rate easily). It's not a cheap sport either, that equipment is expensive.
I'm sure it is more fun to play than to watch but that can be said for pretty much every sport.

So an Aggie thinks a bunch of men wearing speedos throwing a ball around is more exciting than lacrosse.
