We are taking a short break over the holidays and are rebroadcasting some memorable discussions. This episode was originally published January 12, 2021.

The Iroquois Nationals Lacrosse team are ranked as one of the top teams in the world, but were passed over for the upcoming World Games likely in part due to their fight for sovereignty. This slight inspired an act of sportsmanship that has helped bring two nations closer together. Rex Lyons is a former player and board member of the Iroquois Nationals, and he joins "This Matters" to explain this remarkable sports story.
