I went to a fight and a lacrosse game broke out

The ref on the left appears to be disrobing. I don't recall that happening.

I usually catch one lacrosse game a year. Last night the Philadelphia Wings destroyed the Boston Blazers. First they outscored Â’em, then they pounded Â’em into the carpet. Funny thing about lacrosse fights. They're a little rarer than hockey fights, but, with no ice to slip on and refs less than eager to jump in, they go a lot longer. A couple of the battles at the Wachovia Center lasted for several minutes, and didn't so much end as exhaust themselves. There was blood, and the requisite Philly bloodlust. Good times.

The Wings wore pink helmets because it was Breast Health Awareness Night.
