Lacrosse Rules

The sport of lacrosse was invented a long time ago, by the Native Americans and was originally called bagadaway. That is originally translated to mean "game of ball and stick." It was played among long distances, not just on a field. It was played between towns not two teams, and as many players that wanted to play could just join in the game. More presently in time, that game of lacrosse is growing in popularity among both men and women in both high school and collegiate athletics. It is a very action packed game for both sides, and can be very exciting for a spectator to watch as well.
There are two halves that last twenty five minutes each, but that is mainly the only similarity between the boys and girls forms of lacrosse. In girls lacrosse, the only player that wears padding is the goalie who has padded shorts a chest pad goggles and a bigger stick than any of the other players. All the field players only wear goggles, and have the same size stick unlike in the boys leagues. Girls are not allowed to make contact with other players, if they want to try and get the ball away from their oppponent they can only try to block their opponents with their sticks and they can also try to hit their stick as well.
The boys play very differently. Before a game boys change into shoulder and chest pads, padded shorts and full head helmets. The defenders have the biggest sticks out of anyone on the field so they can block players that are farther away. Because of all the padding that all the boys have to wear the game is much more violent. Boys are allowed to hit, and knock into players to get the ball away from them. Lacrosse seems like a different version of football when watcing it being played.
Meetings have been held in past years about letting girls hit and just making them wear more padding, but all the comittee members have said no. Girls are still not allowed to hit, although it does happen on occasion.
If I played lacrosse I would be rather upset that the boys have such different rules when they play their game. Sometimes in games, teams do play dirty and girls will make contact with another player, and since it is against the rules the opponent has to just as sneakily try and get back at them. I don't think it should be such a big deal to let girls hit. I know sometimes girls can take getting hit personally but in sports things happen. If you get hit, you get hit it is part of the game. Things happen. If girls could just learn to not take things so personally on the field maybe the rules could be changed. What do you think? Do you think the rules should be changed, or should boys and girls lacrosse stay with the seperate rules?
