Violent Sport by Nature- Lacrosse

I live in Australia and lacrosse is a relatively new sport here. My son and some of his friends have started playing recently, on the net I’ve noticed several fundraisers for lacrosse players injured during games.

Facts about Lacrosse

Alas, the (local, high schools) lacrosse team is not recognized as a formal sport here in “down-state Illinois” (it’s not like {USA} football), unlike the [...]

As long as we’re re-examining the 1960s, looking for signs of character, trying to decide if a man who volunteered for combat and was decorated five times was more or less courageous than a guy who didn’t even show up for his own medical exam… here’s George W.

Super 12 rugby competition

Here in NZ the Super 12 rugby competition is coining to its climax with this evening’s final. I wonder if pro rugby would ever catch on in the USA. I know club level rugby currently does OK. But I think those that would make the best rugby athletes in America would be more likely to [...]
