When I taught in a prep school in Connecticut I learned more about lacrosse than I had known from my upbringing in Acadiana, where I don't recall even organized soccer. At any rate, I found that while many teachers ridiculed football and thought it was a game for morons, many of the players who played football and were the, generally and subjectively speaking, toughest, actually played lacrosse as their third sport (many played basketball in the winter). When I inquired to learn more about lacrosse and I even questioned how "tough" one had to be to play, they said it was harder to endure than football. So, if I understand your comment correctly, and if you happen to genuinely believe what appears to be the surface of your comment, then you should know that your opinion of lacrosse may lack understanding of lacrosse. Sorry this sounds like I'm being a smart-alec; I'm not. I just write like this through this medium. Finally, I think that no one on this thread addressed your comment for that reason, perhaps among others.
Oh, and congratulations, Dad! Nothing like a student-athlete for a son.

I taught at the middle school at Kingswood-Oxford in West Hartford. Although I generally felt out of place, I really grew to appreciate what such an education can offer a student, and how it could develop athletic potential in students. They couldn't compete quite as well with the boarding schools in the region, since they were only a day school. Oh, and I should be careful to say that many teachers considered football a sport for "morons." That's a strong comment. I did, however, encounter that sentiment from some of the teachers who were there at the time.
