i like field hockey and soccer.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Field hockey is a team sport of the hockey family. The earliest origins of the game date back to the Middle Ages in England, Scotland, France and the Netherlands. The game can be played on a grass field, turf field or synthetic field as well as an indoor board surface. Each team plays with eleven players, including the goalie. Players use sticks made out of wood, carbon fibre, fibre glass or a combination of carbon fibre and fibre glass in different quantities (with the higher carbon fibre stick being more expensive and less likely to break) to hit a round, hard, plastic ball. The length of the stick depends on the player's individual height. Only one end of the stick is allowed to be used. Goalies often have a different kind of stick, however they can also use an ordinary field hockey stick. The specific goal-keeping sticks have another curve at the end of the stick, this is to give them more surface area to save the ball. The uniform consists of shin guards, shoes, shorts, a mouth guard and a jersey. Today, the game is played globally, with particular popularity throughout Western Europe, the Indian subcontinent, Southern Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, and parts of the United States (primarily New England and the Mid-Atlantic states).\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I like soccer and field hockey.

Yeah I don't see many people playing field hockey in the U.S. I know some people that play lacrosse though!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It's gotten pretty popular. Do you associate field hockey more with women or men? I wonder if it's the same as lacrosse, where body contact is not allowed (although stick contact is...)"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I would associate it more with women, but men play it a lot too!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Either way, it takes a lot of skill to use that lacrosse stick to carry, pass, catch, and shoot the ball!"}]
