"Lacrosse at the high school level has been the fastest growing sport over the last 3 years"

Wow. So this makes college lacrosse players national icons? The Duke lacrosse players were singled out by the media because they were WHITE, AFFLUENT and SUCCESSFUL, not because they were lacrosse players.

For the most part true; I think that the image that lacrosse has had as an east coast elite sport might have been contributory, but the main points were what you said.
