This title to my post may not be news to many of you living in the UK, but now your government has reached a new low.

The Native Americans under consideration are citizens of their own nation and thus have the right to hold passports from their nation even if it is inside the territory of the United States.
It's sad to say that these people invented the game of lacrosse and are not allowed to go play it. How would the people in the UK feel if say an English team was not allowed to play soccer in a foreign country? England has a lacrosse team in the competition, I would urge cancellation of the event or at least a major boycott of the events.
I urge the government in the UK to grow up. The Iroquois and their ancestors have lived on the American continent for the past 10,000 years. If things had turned out differently all us Americans would be holding Iroquois passports, they had a democratic society long before we even considered it.
Yes, I am pissed off...you should be too.
