		<description><![CDATA[The fact that you are ejected is to much. There are times in REAL Box lacrosse, which I don&#039;t think you have played where it is very necessary to fight, even as a talented offenses player. Liberties will be taken more often now that you have to sacrifice players to stand up for your teammates. When you play Offense/Defense you only have talented players out on the floor versus the other teams knuckle draggers, there for if a liberty is taken, an O player will be the one standing up for his teammate and being ejected.

P.S. do some research, everyone got ejected and multiple suspended from that brawl. The Game was called after the fight due to both teams have to many players ejected.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Interesting take CW.  You know that in general I do NOT condone violence, however I do believe fighting has its place in some sports. Fighting does allow players to &quot;self regulate&quot;.   I&#039;m assuming there are not too many LAS readers who follow baseball closely, but just imagine how much better and safer baseball would be if two players who had beef just duked it out, instead of having pitchers throw 100 mph balls at the heads of innocent opponents.

 I couldn&#039;t hep notice that you referenced the lack of fighting in Prague.  There was one incident (that I know of) that exemplified the necessity of fighting in box.  I will not name names or teams, but two opposing players had been battling each other all game long.  Their frustration built as the game progressed.  Rather than squaring up and fighting, where each player knows hits are imminent and can therefore defend themselves, one player intentionally shot as hard as he could at his opponent&#039;s throat.  The ball, as planned by the shooter, struck the defender and dropped him to the ground instantly.  As he laid on the ground with his airways closing gasping for air, play continued, because after all no penalty had been committed.  Luckily the defender was not killed, but he easily could&#039;ve been.  If only they had taken the safe road and fought.]]></description>
