Two of my boys play lacrosse. While they are usually bruised (the younger one looks like a leopard during the season)they would usually not have scratches. Players wear gloves and pads everywhere but legs, forearms, and neck. I can imagine scratches on those areas from turf but I don't see how a woman's press on nail scratches would look the same or be on the same parts of the body as lacrosse scratches. Let's hope none of these guys have a "scratcher" girlfriend.

You meant upper arms of course. The gloves go nearly to the elbow. My son gets bruised a lot too but he also occasionally gets scratched by the netting at the end of the stick scraping across his upper arm.

My son's a goalie, so he rarely has scratches..just bruises up and down his legs. Poke checking, turf burns, and getting scratched with the head of a defensemen's stick are surely could lead to all kinds of marks--especially for a midfielder like Seligmann. I agree the scratches shouldn't be deep, but after 10 days how visible would Press on nail (or any fingernail) scratch be?

But it doesn't matter, according to Nifong, they put on their raping jackets first (sarc).
