I've played both, in football a wide receiver and in lacrosse a midfielder, and I think lacrosse is a lot rougher. Your get bruises all over and break fingers a lot. I've been hit hard in football, and it hurt, but if you break it down, football is mostly shoving. Plus, lacrosse doesn't stop constantly. However, I like playing both sports equally. What is your opinion? If you haven't played both or neither, please don't answer because you are obviously biased toward the sport you play.
