This guy is why, starting at the youngest of youth lacrosse (or any youth sport) everyone involved must be diligent in working to discourage this behavior.  Coaches, parents, players and fans alike have to both preach and exhibit class and sportsmanship at all times.  We also have to take every opportunity to stem even the slightest outbursts of rage.  I am not talking about the kind of anger that, when channeled properly can be beneficial, but the kind of rage that left unchecked turns into violent outbursts like this one.  There is absolutely no place in any society for this kind of behavior.And plisanti, you are correct, this kind of action is certainly deserving of prosecution.  I don’t understand how people think that because they are on a field playing a game they are exempt from laws that govern civilized people.  I hope this guy is incredibly embarrassed.

The player on the receiving end could have been seriously, seriously injured, even paralyzed by a chop to the neck like that, and not really sure how he was not. This has no place in any sport and the fact that it occurred in the arena of sport should not insulate this behavior from prosecution.
