1. Glad to see he’s landed on his feet but sorry to see him playing for one of the red orders. The cult of Arupe should be shut down until the communist “liberation theologians” are purged from the Church altogether.
2. As a sport, why is lacrosse not more popular than basketball? Lacrosse has strategy, teamwork, defense and dirt. Basketball just looks like a bunch of ants running back and forth a postage stamp. I can’t recognize much in the way of strategy, any serious attempt at defense is against the rules and it’s the most “Me” oriented sport I’ve ever seen. Lacrosse is a lot more fun to watch.

>>As a sport, why is lacrosse not more popular than basketball?
Lacrosse is a Spring sport at the HS and college level.
The better question is, Why is lacrosse not more popular than soccer?
It has contact, scoring, and requires opposable thumbs.
I played lacrosse in HS and college. Where I live now in Oregon they just started to play. It has really taken off and is getting allot of attention. A good lacrosse game is great entertainment.
I loved playing in college. It was new in the northwest only a club league existed. Home team supplied the keg for after the game. Always a good time.
