I totally agree about the numbskull analogy. We have been involved with lacrosse since my daughter has been 5 years old, now 15. There is so much crap going on between lacrosse parents that it is sickening. My daughter started high school last year and played volleyball for the first time. The parents were so nice and it really was a breath of fresh air to be around people that actually rooted for the other girls on the team.
No ball hogging in volleyball and people other than parents actually come to the games. Her first game there were about 300 people in the stands for a JV game. Women's college lacrosse is luck if they can get 100 people.
I am starting to think maybe we chose the wrong sport!
