Lacrosse was a substitute for war. The playing fields were literally miles long.

I'll admit that lacrosse is something of an acquired taste, if only because there is a substantial playing area behind the goals. That takes some getting used to when one has grown up knowing primarily football, basketball, baseball, hockey and soccer.
