Heh, how bout lacrosse? That's a real American sport, unfortunately, few if any have ever played it.
Lacrosse is getting big in high schools these days. I'd never heard of it before my brother went to the AF Academy in the late 1960's and began playing it. He loved it! His #2 son played in high school in the late 90's, and then, in college. The high schools in MA almost all have lacross teams now.
It makes me think of Jai Lai with longer sticks on the baskets, but without the wagering. ;o)
