Didn't they change the rules because of him?

Brown is best known for his record-setting career as a fullback with the NFL Cleveland Browns from 1957 to 1965, for which he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. However, he first made history playing lacrosse at Syracuse University from 1955 to 1957. Under legendary coach Roy Simmons, Sr., Brown led the Orange to a perfect 10-0 record in 1957 and was a two-time All-American midfielder. His unparalleled speed is why lacrosse players must now keep their sticks in motion while carrying the ball. The rule was imposed because nothing else could to slow him down. Brown was inducted into the Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1984 and is the only person to be enshrined in the Pro Football, College Football and Lacrosse Halls of Fame.

[BonafideDefacto]

some of you people here are idiots I swear. a 60 year old is more likely to know more about lacrosse than one of us... it was a bigger game back then. the only place where it has yet to reach popularity is still on the West Coast as compared to the east coast

LOL. Nah, it's fun. I played in high school. A fukk ton of running if you're a midfielder, especially if you have a shytty offense. It's popular in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast of the country.

-You're allowed to "check", which is probably the only way to play good 1-on-1 defense.

-It's usually high-scoring.

-Get hit with that fukking ball isn't fun.

My co-workers daughter plays lacrosse collegiately. Those balls are no joke. She plays goalie and has huge welts over her arms/legs from getting hit with that thing.
