We Got A Brutal Reminder In The PLL This Weekend Of How Much Tougher Lacrosse Players Are Than Any Other Athletes On The Planet
That right there is lacrosse tough.
Jack Rowlett of Chaos LC practically ended up getting branded in the middle of the game after getting smack with the head of Zed Williams' stick on his follow through. Hit the young man so goddamn hard that it left a full imprint on his torso. If you look close enough there, you can even see some mesh marks.
Could you imagine if something like this happened to a guy in the NBA? They'd end up sitting out the rest of the regular season. Could you imagine if this happened to a football player? They'd try to put on a big brave face by being listed as "questionable" to return, but you know sure as shit their game would be over. A hockey guy getting hit like this? Forget about it. They'd retire right there on the spot.
But not lacrosse players. You have to be nails to play this game. You end up with the imprint of a whole ass stick on your stomach? Well that's too damn bad. Because someone still needs to go out there and try to figure out a way to stop Zed Williams from being the best lacrosse player on the planet. And turns out that Jack Rowlett is one of the only guys on this Earth who can potentially do that.
Rub a little dirt on it and then head straight back onto the field. How can you not love this game? Meanwhile you have guys ending up on baseball injury reports because they stubbed their toe at breakfast.
