Cal Lacrosse Player Gets Testy

April 19, 2011 / Lacrosse Playground /

University of California – Berkeley lacrosse player makes a low blow, distracts his defenseman and continues to score a goal. To some this may be viewed as a hustle play, but we absolutely do not condone this behavior.

Lacrosse used to be a blood sport centuries ago and has since come a long way. We, lacrosse players, don’t need to resort to malicious behavior. Of course, this video only shows one side of the poor sportsmanship. However, retaliation is inexcusable too. Furthermore, yes, we post indoor lacrosse fights, but that is, in fact, a part of that game. Respect the outdoor game and respect your opponents.

In all seriousness, learn something from this video. It’s important.

    Yeah the D man should be wearing a cup…all d men should be…
    but #2 is just a douche. Defenseman should throat check his ass later in the game. I’m all for clean play, but if someone tries a filthy move on you and gets away with it…they better be prepared for the consequences.

    Why the f@&$ would you even post this LP? Atleast 16 kids are going to do this to unsuspecting competitors this week. This is NBA bs or FIFA bs, real lacrosse players don’t compete like this. Cally doesn’t know shit about our game.

      Are you kidding me guy? I’m so sick of people bitching at LPG about posting up stuff like this. FIRST OFF, they explicitly say they don’t condone the behavior. SECOND, who gives a fuck? They are a media outlet, and I enjoy watching stuff like this.

      If you are dumb enough to imitate this because you see it…well, let’s just hope you don’t see the coverage of George Huguely on Inside Lacrosse.

      What are you 13? This post had nothing to do about “hotbed” areas of lax. Go watch Ultimate lax bro one more time.

      • flowbro on April 20, 2011 at 12:02 am

        • theplaymaker127 on April 20, 2011 at 1:20 am

          its only a matter of time before the west coast takes over the east coast in lacrosse just like they did in football, there’s just so many more athletes in cali than anywhere else.

          besides this is a college team, that kid may not even be from california

          • Riiiichi on April 20, 2011 at 3:43 am

            yea the hot bed argument is irrelevant, but there is NO way the west coast over takes the east coast in lacrosse. sorry



          • flowbro on April 20, 2011 at 1:24 pm

            Ya its the arrogant people that I can’t stand you know what why don’t you bring a club team out to the east coast for a tournument this summer you prob won’t win one game. Trust me east coast will always be on top. I don’t know why you brought up football I’m pretty sure we are talking about lacrosse. I mean in Mass we have wicked good hockey so I mean we will always have the better sick skills than a lot of places.

      Just because people aren’t on the east coast doesn’t matter. Lacrosse is still taught properly. This kid is just a complete tool and I’d suspend him for the year.
