Re: UVA Lacrosse Player Charged in Slaying of UVA Lacrosse Player
Seems like a fair perspective of the culture, from those that I know who played it it seems pretty spot on as well. A few of my friends after HS had played in HS and/or college and honestly if they weren't friends I'd have probably thought that they were douchebags. Def a lot of spoiled kids whose parents would rather throw money around to fix issues with their kids and either give in to their demands or ignore that their kids are little shits. Either it's easier for them to deal with their kids that way or they're living vicariously enough through their kids' accomplishments (not likely if they can shell out that money for it, unless they always wanted to be athletic but werent) that they think that it's fine.
I never got why lacrosse got so into the "bro" culture.. I guess they think that tapping into each other and being mostly white suburban made it cooler than football to them.
