Women Athlete's Salaries?
Question:I'm sure that many people have noticed that women professional athletes are paid far less than male athletes.
Do you think this is fair, at all?
Answers:
It's not a matter of fair or not as far as the work that is put in by the athletes. It is a matter of the revenue generated or not generated by the sport and the league itself.

Men's Lacrosse
Outdoor men's lacrosse involves two teams of 10 players respectively competing to project a small ball of solid rubber into the conflicting team's goal. The paddock of play is 110 yards (100 m) long and 60 yard (54 m) wide. The goal are 6 feet (1.8 m) by 6 foot, containing a mesh netting similar to an ice hockey dream. The goal sits inside a circular "crease", measure 18 feet (5.5 m) surrounded by diameter.
Players line up next to 3 offensive players call "attackmen," players who shoot on the opposing team's lattice; 3 "midfielders" or "middies," who shoot on the opposing team's network as well as defending their own network; 3 "defensemen," who guard their own team's net; and 1 designated goaltender, or "goalie" who stands inside the "crease" and blocks incoming shots. Each player carry a lacrosse stick measuring between 40 inches (101.6 centimeters) and 42 inches (106.68 centimeters) long (a "short crosse"), or 52 inches (132.08 centimeters) to 72 (182.88 centimeters) long (a "long crosse"). The designated goalkeeper is allowed to enjoy a stick from 40 inches (101.6 centimeters) to 72 inches (182.88 centimeters) long. The head of the crosse on both long and short crosses must be 6 inches or larger at its widest point and 2.5 inches huge or wider at its narrowest point. The head of a goaltender's crosse may means up to 15 inches (38.1 centimeters) wide, significantly larger than paddock players' heads to assist surrounded by blocking shots. Goalies at the youth levels commonly use short crosses because they are powerless of handling the true 60 inch goalie crosse. Although most attackmen and midfielders utilize short crosses, defensemen carry long crosses, and one midfielder on defense may pass a long crosse. Some teams choose to distribute their sticks differently, not atypical because a team may one and only have 4 long crosses on the area during live play, excluding the benches and penalty boxes. Most modern sticks enjoy a metal shaft, usually made of aluminum or titanium, while the head is made of complicated plastic. Metal shafts must have a plastic or a more popular rubber sou`wester or ("butt") at the end. The head are strung with string, leather, mesh, or a combination of the previous, forming a web called the "pocket".
Lacrosse players must wear helmets and gloves and also typically wear shoulder and elbow pad and sometimes they wear rib pads.
Players serving spoon the ball past its sell-by date the ground and pass the orb through the air to other players. Players are allowed to run carrying the orb with their stick. Unlike contained by women's lacrosse, men's lacrosse players may kick the globe, as well as cover it next to their sticks, provided they do not withhold it from play. Play is quite swiftly, with considerably more goal scored than are within soccer or hockey, with typical games totaling ten to twenty goal.
Rules
As mentioned, men’s lacrosse is a full contact sport, with players wearing complete protective equipment. Thus “checking” - striking opponents’ stick or body near the crosse - is legal and fundamentally much part of the activity.
A face-offEach team starts near ten players on the field: a goalkeeper and three defender at the defensive shutting down; three midfielders across the midfield line; and three attackers at the loathsome end. Each quarter starts next to a “face-off” in which the bubble is placed on the ground and two “faceoffmen” lay their stick horizontally next to the bubble, head of the stick inches from the globe and the butt-end pointing down the midfield line. Faceoffmen sliver for the ball, normally by “clamping” it under their stick and flicking it out to their midfielders, who start on the wing restraining chain near the sideline and sprint contained by when the whistle is blown to start play. Attackers and defenders cannot cross their “restraining line” until one player from the midfield take possession of the ball. A face-off also restarts the spectator sport after each aspiration.
Time continues to run in late ball situations such as contained by between goals, beside two exceptions: when the referees deem it mandatory to avoid a significant loss of playing time, for example when chasing a ball shot far away; and surrounded by the last three minutes of the fourth quarter of any men’s hobby.
In men's lacrosse, players can be awarded penalties of two types by the arbiter for rule infractions. Personal fouls always result contained by the player serving time in the cost box, located at the side of the field between the incongruous teams' interchange benches. These penalties can end one to three minutes at the referee's discretion. Two and three minute penalties are usually reserved for the most serious slashing or unsportsmanlike conduct fouls. Technical fouls are smaller amount severe and result in 30 second being served lone if the foul was committed while the different team be in possession of the globe. If there be a loose ball situation or the player's squad was within possession at the time of the foul, they only result surrounded by a turnover. Technical fouls are "releasable," meaning that a player may return to the spectator sport without spending the entire duration of his cost in the box if the paradoxical team score during the penalty. Fouls form an esteemed part of men's lacrosse as while a player is serving time, his troop is 'man down'. At this time his defense must play a 'zone' while they wait for the cost to expire while the attacking team have its best opportunity to score. A enumerate of the fouls in men's lacrosse is as follows:
Personal Fouls
Slashing: Occurs when a player hits another player uncontrolled, within the back, below or on the knees, or within the helmet/neck.
Tripping: Occurs when a player obstructs his rival at or below the waist with the crosse, hand, arms, feet or legs.

A crosse may be found unconstitutional if the pocket is too deep or if any other chunk of the crosse was altered to gain an plus, such as the stick being shorter than the required length surrounded by order to clear it harder to check. (In addition, the penalize player may not use the illegal crosse for the remainder of the game). A director must also not be too pinched so the lacrosse ball cannot come out.
An example of a "Push from behind" or "Illegal Body Checking"Illegal Body Checking: Occurs when any of the following activities takes place:
a. body checking an challenger who is not in possession of the globe or within five yard of a loose ball.
b. avoidable body check of an adversary after he has passed or shot the orb.
c. body checking an opponent from the reverse or at or below the waist.
d. body checking an opponent above the shoulders. A body check must be below the shoulders and above the waist, and both hand of the player applying the body check must remain in contact near his crosse.
Other Illegal equipment: not having a mouthguard, or not have it in the mouth, clear ends on the shaft of the stick (no butt end), no shoulder pads, no arm pad (in most leagues, goalies do not enjoy to wear arm pads so they can move their arms faster to block shots.)
Illegal Gloves: Occurs when a player uses gloves that do not conform to required specifications. A glove will be found wicked if the fingers and palms are cut out of the gloves, or if the glove has be altered in a route that compromises its protective features.
Technical Fouls

Warding Off: Occurs when a player surrounded by possession of the ball uses his free paw or arm to hold, push or control the direction of an opponent this includes pushing him past its sell-by date.
Well, because your starting out, i would recomend middie or attack. The only plea i say this is because for shelter you need to be better than the attackmen and middies near your stick handling. Not only that, but it's complicated to move around 6'. (i play defence, but i certaintly didn't start bad playing defence)
If you can run long distances i would recomend middie. But by playing middie, your stick handling doesn't need to be the best. (although it helps).
If you can't run long distances, but can sprint when you necessitate to, play attack. You do, however, need pretty flawless stick handling. (but this comes with practice).
doesn`t matter what you deside, practice, practice, practice.
GOOD LUCK!
Ive been playing the great sport of lacrosse for three years and I enjoy played attack. If your pretty fast comppared to the nation on the team and you hold a good lack of complaint i would choose midfield. Another bonus for midfield is that you get to play attack and shelter too. Now if you dont have a apposite endurance but you can sprint devout and have a apposite shot i would choose attack. One downfall for attack for me is that I am small and the defence men are usually HUGE. But since your not completely smal you could play anything.
I think that if your express enough, you can play middie and if you can shoot, budge to attack
I think u will be biddable at attack at your weight and echelon .
the best question to ask yourself is "do i close to to run, and do i have stamina?" if you answer yes to those 2 question,midfield is the position for you. if you like to set up plays, and would a bit improve your stick skills, attack is the channel to go. or if you surface like flat out kicking peoples *** next to a a 6 foot pole...play defense.
