“Fun Fact
Lacrosse is part of the cultural tradition of the Iroquois people. The Iroquois men’s national lacrosse team, known as the Iroquois Nationals, represents the Iroquois Confederacy in international competitions. The team achieved Bronze at last year’s World Championships.”

Very Great read , Please post more about Brendan and the Iroquois Nationals

Thanks for your comment, Owen.

This article wasn’t supposed to be a take so much as it is an examination of pros and cons on whether it would hurt or help business for the PLL.

The reason I selected the WWE is because of the commonalities in fan base from the PLL to the WWE. Note how I did address that if the PLL is as scripted as the WWE, it should hurt rather than help their case. A lot of users on social media have been commenting on the fact that these fights seem scripted.

We also make the comparison to hockey where fighting is prevalent, and how the NHL has made rapid growth over the last few years while having fighting as a mainstay of their league.

Thanks for sharing your opinion on what you think about fighting in field lacrosse as well. Check out our other article by Ryan Conwell on his opinion of fighting in the PLL.

Would love to hear more of your thoughts!

As a one of event I don’t think it hurts the PLL from a marketing or creditability standpoint. But if this becomes the go to thing week in and week out I think it hurts the league. Self-policing is one thing, scripted can become lame quickly. And I say this as a man who still cherishes seeing McCarty beating down Lemieux in a fight an entire state knew was going to happen.

I think fighting in field is a horrible idea. I’ve played box for 10 years or so. And every 20 something American seems to feel all contact means it’s time to throw down. This has carried out on the field leagues I play in too. It’s stupid. You don’t like a hit, lay a guy out, or take a shot right at him and move on. For once baseball has the right idea when guys eat pitches. The beef generally ends and life goes on. I know all the hockey guys love it, but it just seems so try hard to me.
