I agree that most people don’t know the rules or any players. But the same is true with many olympic events. Most people can name a front runner, or a once great competitor. But lacrosse is taking off. This is a little known fact, but both denver pro lacrosse teams, Outlaws, and Mammoth average more fans than the Florida Marlins. I know the Marlins are a small market team, but they won the WS not long ago. Check out a college game sometime, and i think you might start to like the sport.
