Yeah, I was going to say the samething, it's big out in the counties. But it's more popular than baseball here.

equipment isn't necessary to play football in the streets though. As far as playing at school Lacrosse games don't generate even remotely the same amount of money as football games do, so that's why you see more money going to football programs.

Living on Long Island and being a Lax head yes it can get expensive especially if you have to buy all the equipment yourself. I heard its getting more popular in the last couple of years it was always Long Island, Maryland, Virginia, parts of Cali, and Upstate New York oh and Canada. I heard places like Denver and shyt are getting into it the one place its having trouble picking up steam is down south i think that hurts it also the fact that not every school carries it which boggles my mind.
The funniest part about it is Lacrosse is probably most similar to basketball as a sport.

Most of the more well known HBCUs (a) have lacrosse teams (b) are developing them/have at least a club team.

Also, note the use of the word "relatively" and it's context. It's a growing thing, of course. Within 5 years, I'd say at least 10 HBCU schools will have functioning lacrosse programs. All it takes is for the MEAC, CIAA, SWAC, etc. to get behind it. The MEAC will more than likely be the pioneer for that.

Thats the older kids though......for a sport to become popular it has to start when the kids are real young.
The cost of the equiment isnt the #1 reason though....ppl in the city just dont want to play it. The more it takes to play a sport, the less popular it'll become.

People bringing up money........not when I know some broke nikkas in high school who buy $200 pairs of Jordans for their school team, another pair for AAU, another pair just because, and not including how much they spend on clothes to impress these hoes. Like what someone else said we just not interested in playing lacrosse.
Schools provide equipment for football
They do for lacrosse too, if the school has a team. I played for a few years and only ever bought cleats and a stick

Yeah, I think its big in every county in MD except PG County. THe problem is PG County and BMore city is where a huge chunk of the citizens in the state reside.
The only other big populated places its popular in are Montgomery County and BMore County, but yeah it is bigger than baseball in Maryland.
no doubt, but they provide equipment for Lacrosse players too, if the school has the program.

Follow me to the truth
lax is a fun sport to play but just like soccer brothas aint checkin for it forreal. it isn't even introduced in a lot of states. i highly doubt there is 1 lax team in alabama. so it could be like that in many states. the sport has to get more popular before you can expect more blacks to play
Equipment is mad expensive that's why only cacs plays it
I always though lacrosse was more of a regional thing than a race thing. However, it kinda creeping in the South with the whites, tho.

Yeah, I think its basically mid-Atlantic to Northeast thing. In MD there is a fair amount if black kids that play for the schools that actually have it. I know Meth said he used to play on the team in Long Island.....But if there are no nikkas on tv for kids to look up to like NBA/NFL stars, and no chicks would care at all if a dude was the best lacrosse player in the school I don't see it spreading among blacks that much.
