#convince everyone that it's physically impossible to play irl and only exists in teen wolf

[glitter-stained]

Today on "glitter was an absolutely dumbfuck clueless kid": I found out lacrosse existed in my first year of highschool when some of my friends started wearing teen wolf merch among which lacrosse sweaters with the numbers of the fictional characters. I thus naturally concluded that lacrosse was a ridiculous fictional game from the show Teen Wolf.

This did not change until my first year of college that I read the first All for the Game book, The Foxhole Court, in which they play a fictional game called exy (which I first thought was ecstasy, as I was going in under the belief that this was a book on drug addiction and recovery). The game "exy", in this book (which surprisingly does include talk of drug addiction) is described as some kind of coed violent indoor lacrosse-derivate in which players get brutally slammed against plexiglass and is more popular than american football. Upon this description, I finally realised that this probably wasn't an oblique teen wolf reference the author expected us all to get and lacrosse was in fact a real game people play voluntarily.
