It very much is snuuuker. Snucker sounds completely insane, so I would prefer you continue saying snucker. That goes for you too, Dan. You're an American now, you have to start pronouncing words wrong.

Snooker is cool.

Err, snucker is cull.

I submit that no matter how you choose to pronounce this word it is an extremely silly sounding word. So you really can't go wrong. Or right.

Towson is pronounced like "Tao-son" - I'm just a little bit in but I trust this will be the most egregious geographical error in this QL ....

e: Further east coast / Maryland info - I can say Lacrosse is fairly popular there

As an European myself, I can confirm that this is exactly how we traditionally play sports.

Lacrosse is possibly the most "North American" sport that exists, considering it was invented by native americans.

Lacrosse isn't "Canadian". It was first encountered in what is now known as Canada (you know, before it was Canada), but it was played by Natives throughout the northeastern part of the continent.

I don't really know the rules of lacrosse, but did they do exactly the opposite of what they meant to by making the extra point line being super far out?

The not-trademark infringing college teams were the best part. I lost it at Ohio Tree Nuts.

@cale: While useful, I doubt this map will help.

Anyway the English will just redefine their zones depending on how they want to come across. Bloody Poms!

Lacrosse seems to be bastardised hurling so i would believe it to be an American construct, but in all seriousness this game looks to be a poor mans hockey and pretty garbage to boot.

It's satire on the crew being ignorant about sports in general with Danny acting as the straight man. As a European, I find these QL hilarious.

Also why mock European sports? I'd play a Hurling video game long before I'd touch a Baseball game. Just saying...

It's obvious that they're just experienced wand jockeys looking to add a bit of extra challenge.

As someone who has played lacrosse for years, I am happy that a game with at least some legitimacy came out. It doesn't look like the greatest game but it's all us lacrosse fans are going to get.
