A co-worker from MN is bringing her kid to college here in STL because he wants to play lacrosse, and options are very limited. Cool!

@33MHz I feels like lacrosse is getting to be more of a thing? At least I see it a lot more since moving to Washington but figured that had to do with proximity to Canada.

@SpaceNerdMo I suspect you're right.. I feel like I've heard of other more niche sports getting more attention the last few years as well.

@33MHz @SpaceNerdMo contact sports have their downsides and I see people becoming more aware of that.

@habanero that's true, there has been a diaspora from traditionally popular sports. /@spacenerdmo

@33MHz @spacenerdmo @habanero I suspect the standard sports are being recognized as having a having a high barrier to entry/success, so people are diversifying for an easier time.

@igmp_join @spacenerdmo @33MHz spot on. Why work for a concussion or broken tibia, when you can easily find joy in hitting the mark with a Frisbee? 😋

@igmp_join @spacenerdmo @33MHz I'll also say that breakdancing being introduced as a sport at the Olympics? Utterly facepalming moment.

@habanero yeah… I ranted about similar last week. For various reasons, I'm not a fan of the multiplicity of sports/medals at the olympics. /@igmp_join @spacenerdmo

@33MHz @spacenerdmo @igmp_join same here. Not everyone who moves their body and exerts effort in a skilled way needs a medal of recognition. In 4 years, are they going to add landscaping and roofing to the lineup? Lol

@SpaceNerdMo not sure what factors play in. But e.g. ultimate frisbee has become a thing.

@SpaceNerdMo maybe 5 years ago my friend's son was choosing his college based on ultimate frisbee teams!
