Lacrosse will be an Olympic sport in 2028. President Biden says he supports efforts by the Haudenosaunee Confederacy to field its own team. But the IOC says not so fast.
A top lacrosse team — Haudenosaunee Nationals — is reclaiming its Indigenous identity after generations of being known as the Iroquois Nationals. Current team members say that name was derogatory.
Tony Allen, Delaware State University's president, says once the complaint is officially filed, it will be made available to the campus community to read.
The team has voluntarily dropped out to make room for the Iroquois Nationals, which was originally excluded because organizers had said it did not represent a sovereign nation.
