Great article…in fact one of my top ten lax articles. Loved the: "Its like Rodeo on ice, but with Defense". I spit my coffee laughing.

Also, thought his assessment of the polarizing/unifying that exists within our lax community was right on target. Personally, I believe this is one of our biggest challenges that we face when trying to grow the game.

BTW- What is up with the “Texas is Gay” t-shirt?

1. KEEP IT CIVIL; DO NOT "FLAME"; ATTACKS ON MDIA TEAMS/CONFERENCES/PLAYERS NOT ALLOWED; NO CURSE WORDS ALLOWED
Do not personalize any post. Debate vs. flaming: This is a friendly place. Debate is encouraged, but flaming is not allowed. Flaming is personally attacking someone. For example, saying "Any idiot knows that isn't true" is flaming because the person was just called an idiot, while "I passionately disagree" is not flaming even though it's rather emotionally charged. Finally, “attacks” on USL MDIA players, coaches, teams, conferences, referees, and/or administrators are not allowed under any circumstances. Finally no curse words are allowed on the message forums. Inserting characters for curse words is not an acceptable substitute.

Bottom line -- If you can’t make your point with out disparaging another member of the MDIA community, then do not make it on USLIA.com. Treat others as you would like to be treated.
