Canada's game, Lacrosse!

[Hitmen]

Personally, I think canada shouldn't have a national sport. Why? Because it's stupid! Just like down here in the states every state has a state bird and a state flower and shit like that. Why?! It's fucking stupid.

We had a kid entering 8th grade here at the highschool I went to, I believe his current stats are about 5'9 - 6'0 and hes around 175-180LBS the kids a monster, it was funny watching him play some type of running back position during football season, he'd just sprint through a gap and it'd take like 4 opposing players to even get him low enough to stumble across the ground.

Jealous?  

Does the USA have a national sport?

[j0k3r]

I think it's baseball isn't it? College/Allstar football seems pretty popular too.

Yes, Baseball.  It is the only sport given an exemption to the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, and purposefully allowed to be a monopoly.

Sounds more american than apple pie.

I haven't even ever seen a lacrosse game. Why's it suck?

[j0k3r]

It doesn't, Akamas is just "opinionated". It's like a mix of hockey and football I guess.

I've seen a couple of pictures. Is it a little baseball like too? Anyone know any good websites?

From what I understand, it's alot like hockey but you run on a grass field with less equipment and try to "stradle" the ball in your stick.

Heh lacrosse. I'm such a tard I was thinking cricket. It's pretty much field hockey huh. Seems like it kinda fits as a good sport for Canada. Hockey for winter, lacrosse for summer.

you mean "cradle?"    Straddle sounds kind of uncomfortable.

[j0k3r]

Yes, that was the word.

That's called field lacrosse. I play indoor which you run on a hockey rink with no ice and you cradle the ball.

I was refering to the professional league, from what I've seen on TV (not 100% sure though, you probably know more).
