“lacrosse payers are uniformly oversized brutes, usually from privileged backgrounds of wealth and power, callous in their disregard for lesser beings, and certain that their rich daddies will buy them out of any trouble”

Pretty much sums it up-lol

yeah lots of elite sons of privilege on those Indian reservations.

More fitting is that the two players who are like brothers paired up to give Syracuse the championship, Smith starting the game-winning play with his defense, Jamieson finishing with his offense. Jamieson and Smith grew up on the Six Nations Indian reservation on the Grand River of Ontario, meeting as toddlers on the lacrosse field, the indigenous sport of choice on the reservation. They played box lacrosse, an indoor version of the game, and talked about playing at Syracuse University. Other Native Americans had followed that path to success previously -- Jamieson even wears No. 43 in honor of one, Marshall Abrams -- and Jamieson and Smith dreamed of making the trip together. They each took the same first step, spending two years at Onondaga Community College, a junior college lacrosse powerhouse in Syracuse, N.Y. On the frequent four-hour rides from OCC back home, they talked more about the childhood dream that was now tantalizingly close and what it would mean to loft an NCAA trophy together. Neither had it easy, each needing extra time to get his academics in order before matriculating at Syracuse.
