I played lacrosse for a long time at a youth, high school, collegiate and club level starting in the mid 1970s. I know coach high school in Pennsylvania.<br /><br />If I were a player, a coach, a TEAM I would have walked out on this whole thing as solidarity to our brethren who started this game, the “Creators Game”. It is based on principal and reverence for these folks who played this game thousands of years before the white man even knew about it. <br /><br />Lacrosse for me now as well as then has always had a spiritually sense, which was taught to me from my mentors due to rich Native American History. It is what makes the game special. I am more disappointed that people did not have the character to stand by the Haudenosaunee (or Iroquois) TEAM.<br /><br />Today people think they are bigger than the game and our ancestors who started it. You are not.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12713788536604658829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767091120431768927.post-30729407413058135542010-07-16T05:59:10.243-07:002010-07-16T05:59:10.243-07:00sore losers they lost football now they want to w...sore losers they lost football now they want to win lacrosse... boycott the Brits and demand passports and reject them at all future first nations events point finaleCritical Eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071592004218090164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767091120431768927.post-57115174319761434952010-07-14T21:26:12.794-07:002010-07-14T21:26:12.794-07:00With all due respect I sent this off to the organi...With all due respect I sent this off to the organizers and the host team...<br /><br />"<br /><br />To Festival Officials Of the Lacrosse Games in England:<br /><br />You bring nothing but Shame to the name of Lacrosse!<br />And to your Country and to your host, the team of England you bring Disgrace!<br />You tarnish the highest representatives of the British Crown, a cherished Allied Power to the Longhouse!<br />You insult the Iroquois Confederacy, which is based on Peace through true Consensus,<br />and all its Peoples and all those who love and participate in this Historic Sport!<br />You are the Poorest Examples of Fairness, especially to the Young!<br />Your decision to Force The Iroquois Nationals to forfeit the opening Match<br />and Award the English Team Maximum points is Dead Wrong!<br />To give Your team such an Outlandish Advantage before the Games EVEN BEGIN is Unsporting!<br />It shows the World who you really are: a bunch of Ignorant, Bumbling, Pompous Bums!<br />I hope you get Stomped!

I guess we'll just deny them access back to their native land should they ever venture too far from it."<br />The way this situation is being handled makes me sick. We need the iroquois here, you can't have a world championship without the nation that invented the sport!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416196190928038710noreply@blogger.com
