I just read a story of the extraordinary selflessness of the Ireland Lacrosse Team. They were set to compete in the 2022 World Games. 

But it became known that the No. 3 Iroquois Nationals, a team that represents the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, wasn't on the list. There was a rule that prevented their qualifying for the event, and even after the rule was changed, the spaces were all filled. Upon learning this, the Ireland team bowed out.

It seems that the Haudenosaunee are actually the originators of lacrosse, what they call the "medicine game." And Ireland didn't believe it was right for their team to not be playing.

You can read the story here.
