Field hockey (aka lacrosse) is a very physical sport in which there is a lot of body checking for the boys teams. Girls are not allowed to from what I understand.

Uh no. Lacrosse is lacrosse, and field hockey is field hockey.

Field hockey and lacrosse are two different animals, entire. Lacrosse has a stick with a basket on the end, field hockey has stick with a short curved blade. Look them up.

Men's lacrosse involves body checking, and the boys tend to sharpen the leading edge of the head, the net thingy, that mounts on the stick, (you buy them separately), to better draw blood from the other side.

Women's field hockey is pretty girls running around playing "Statue" (The Ref blows her whistle about every 20 seconds and everyone has to freeze in place...), with a small ball somewhere out there.

Due to Title IX, the commies on campus are trying to equate apples and pineapples, and wondering why they aren't a good fit. Both games have a field, goals and a small ball, they aren't the same?

Piss away two years at a small liberal arts college in Vermont and you'll learn these things...
