Like a moth to a flame. So easy.

If you can wrap your mind around the timer counting up and the lack of beer commercials...you'd enjoy it......but yes I get your point...it is a step above Lacrosse in this country.

Not for long. Lacrosse is eminently more watchable and rising in popularity.

It's gaining popularity but lacrosse has a much, much longer way to go than soccer does. Lacrosse is still a relatively young sport in the states when compared to soccer. From what I understand, it's been around in New England for a while but not many other places. It is gaining some steam here in NW Indiana, though.

Also, lacrosse tends to be played by obnoxious frat boys from the rich, predominantly-white suburbs. Which makes that sport infinitely more annoying than soccer.

Lax is nowhere near soccer in this country. Soccer is closer to hockey than it is to lacrosse (still not very close).

The Premier League - located in England - is making $83M per year on its US TV deals alone. MLS is going to be making $90M per year on its new deal.

Lacrosse has semi-popular indoor teams in Denver, Buffalo and Toronto, and outdoor teams in Denver and Boston... but Denver's indoor team is owned by the owner of the Avalanche and Nuggets (as well as Arsenal, Rams, Rapids) and the outdoor team by the Broncos, while Buffalo is owned by the Sabres and Toronto has close ties to MLSE (owner of the Maple Leafs, Raptors, Toronto FC and Marlies)... and still don't come close to drawing as much interest as MLS teams in their markets (Buffalo doesn't have one).

Somebody referred to it as "being just one step up" from it though.
