Brawl Watch: Lacrosse, its just like hockey except the Native Americans invented it

Oh, Brawl Watch, how I missed you.

The above video is from Game 1 of the Mann Cup, Canada's national lacrosse championship. These young lacrosse players decide to get a little frisky after a player goes down. The fans end up being treated to 10 minute brawl worth 173 penalty minutes and boy, do they love every minute of it.

Now if this was an MMA event we would be defending our sport against editorials calling MMA 'the newest form of gladiatorial blood sport' or 'human dog-fighting'. Since this won't happen I thought I would put on my John Canzano hat and do a little role playing with this incident.

"Damn lacrosse! It's a horrible sport that encouages violence. There is a reason why the Native American's called it the 'little brother of war.' It sickens me that our society is embracing mock warfare as a form of entertainment. What does it say about who we are or how our society raises our children. That's not even the worst part. The fact that the crowd and fans cheered it was repulsive. How are those people even human beings. I submit we kick them out of our species. Call them Homo violent-scumbagsia and get them the hell out.

I think I channeled my inner Jay Mariotti pretty well. Hopefully I get hired by the Tribune. Maybe not.
