Lacrosse Players Are The Most Lit College Athletes, According To NCAA Study
The NCAA recently did a study on the connection between alcohol and drug use with collegiate athletics, and the biggest takeaway from the survey is that lacrosse players get after it off the field.
The values in the boxes above represent the percentage of players who used the substance over the last year. In the graphic below, the number indicates where each sport ranks.
Most of it confirms what we already knew. Hockey players drink themselves numb, baseball loves a fat lip, and track stars aren’t burning down heaters before races. Lacrosse just ran away with the degenerate title, though. Generally these kids come from money, so it makes all the sense in the world that usage of the Colombian booger sugar is over 10 percent more than the next highest number.
The real shocker and disappointed is hoops. Dead last in every category. The fucking tennis team is making basketball look like the straight edge club that goes to the local coffee shop for slam poetry on Friday nights. Football didn’t have much of a showing, either. Granted, when you’re the two biggest money making sports with the most recognizable athletes on campus, coaches and administrators are probably limiting and watching over every minute of free time you have like a hawk..

Lacrosse players really know how to ‘smoke’ the competition.

10 years ago at 6:49 pmWould have thought golf being the rich sport had a little more cocaine
10 years ago at 8:27 pmAnyone notice the correlation between the sport with the lowest paying potential professionally and substance abuse?

10 years ago at 10:05 pmNot sure why this is surprising seeing as most LAX players are from well-off families most of the time. You don’t see inner city schools with LAX teams, that’s for damn sure. Duke, being one of those colleges considered somewhat Ivy league, with a killer LAX program, those players sure ain’t hurting for a dollar. They can afford their nose candy.
10 years ago at 10:26 pmIt’s not LAX or LaCrosse. The first is an airport, the second is a town in Wisconsin.

10 years ago at 2:26 amWAY more than 15 percent of lacrosse players do blow.
10 years ago at 10:41 pmAgreed, from a lacrosse player.
10 years ago at 8:23 amClub rugby players would shatter the data table and possibly require some new fields to be included.
10 years ago at 11:03 pmI came here to talk shit about how lacrosse is gay and not a real sport, but then you bring up rugby… Go back to England, no one here cares about rugby
