re: Div 1 LAX in SEC discussion

Its actually a great game. Because of work, I have lived in Maryland for the last 4 years. Both of my kids, girl and a boy, have grown up playing. I think that it will continue to increase in popularity, especially on the boys side, as an alternative to football. It is a very physical sport but has less of a concussion risk. And as more research comes out regarding the long term risk of concussions I think that parents will start looking for alternatives. There is definitely hitting but you will not see a lacrosse player put their head down and spear anyone. And there is no tackling to the ground which significantly lessens the risk of hitting your head on the ground which is where many concussions come from.
