Of all the sports out there, lacrosse has got to be the most underappreciated one. Besides the NCAA final four and a few MLL games a season, it is damn near impossible to watch a legitimate lacrosse game from the comfort of your living room. Anyone who knows their ass from their elbow can realize what an exciting, fast-paced game this is.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the sport has come a long way, but it is time for lacrosse to come to the masses.
I can say with confidence that I would rather watch a lacrosse game over a regular season basketball game any day of the week. I would even go as far as to say that I would take a regular season college lacrosse game over a first or second round B-ball playoff game as well. Before you label me insane, let me explain.

Lacrosse is a game with style, flair, and tradition. Basketball tries to be, but the NBA has become a watered down league since they started letting kids from high school and first and second year kids removed from college join (which is why I believe the NFL is so successful and popular).
Basketball is full of cry-baby thugs who take the game for granted and do not respect it. Whether it's Latrell Sprewell (who is notorious for choking his coach) saying he needs a contract extension to "feed his family" because a guarenteed $10 million a year isn't enough, or Marcus Camby asking for a clothing stipend from the league in order to dress like a professional and not a gangsta, or players going into the stands for fights and shooting fire arms outside strip clubs at 3 in the morning during training camp, I don't want to see it anymore.
Besides the whole Duke scandal (which we all can agree is a steaming pile of B.S.) you rarely, if ever, hear about lacrosse players acting as foolish and selfish as the aforementioned. I'm not trying to talk shit on basketball, I just think it's time to give a different sport the lime light.

lacrosse has the highest percentage of Lacoste-wearing fans of any sport in the country. Nothing says bad-ass competition like a sea of popped pastel collars in the cheap seats...
