[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 945511, member: 73648"] I've been to a couple Lacrosse college championship games, including the one on Monday. Lacrosse really is a college focused game and I don't see it being successful in the pro market. Every player could get a higher paying job on wall street than they could in pro lacrosse. Lacrosse is essentially the rugby union of America so maybe it could do what rugby has overseas but we have had a pro league for awhile now and it hasn't taken off. The one advantage lacrosse has is structure. The NCAA tournament games look like legit sporting events unlike anything MLR or USA Rugby has ever put on. USAR/MLR really need to bring someone in that knows how to run game-day operations but they are too cheap/broke to hire the correct amount of officials or proper camera crews. American lacrosse players know what it's like to be part of professional environments (college players may not get paid but they train like pros) and have games that are run properly. Unfortunately, American rugby at all levels is very unprofessional. [/QUOTE]
