    Team looks pretty ethnically diverse. I like it.

    I wouldn't even be mad if Adidas copied this design for one football game.

    Man, Lacrosse must be big money to have apparel deals all the way out to 2029.

    The must be the big money "club" sport at UW.
    Real talk, it doesn't seem like it. They ask for money on social media a lot.
    Everyone on the Lacrosse team was rich and white that I knew. They had zero fans though, even rugby drew a bigger crowd. I'd bet they are hitting all those rich donors up via social media to fund the sport.
    The players themselves come from rich, white families. That means they can afford to pay for everything they have. It doesn't mean any rich boosters are going to care enough to actually donate to what amounts to a 3rd tier sport (at least on the west coast).

    UW rugby needs to step up their twatter game

    Rugby is all staffed by current team members. Results vary wildly because of this. This is how I ended up as de-facto social chair bc our then-current social chair got a girlfriend who hated rugby parties.

    It's all funded by a trust established by ONE major donor and then fundraising directly by the team which is usually done by running security for the frats plus other outside events such as Seafair, as I've shared stories from.
    I had a property manager "friend" who was a Harvard Rugby guy. We couldn't have been more different but we worked good well together. He also lived in Sahallee when the WGC was there so I could watch Tiger without going through all the riff raff

    Rugby guys are their own breed
