Iroquois Defeated by Passport Dispute

07-16-2010 • NY Times

The 23 players on the Iroquois national lacrosse team expected to spend this week vying for a world championship.

Instead, they spent Friday night divvying up their gear in the driveway outside a Hilton hotel here, having officially declared defeat in their weeklong dispute with the British government over whether they should be allowed to travel using their tribal passports.

Defeated? Screw you once again Grey Lady. Standing up for your sovereignty, especially that stated in binding treaty law between nations, can hardly be considered a defeat.

FROM NOW ON ALL REPRESENATIVES OF THE NYT WHO WISH TO SPEAK TO ME CAN CONTACT MY TEMPORARY EMBASSY AND APPLY FOR A PASSPORT. THE 6 HOUSES CAN HANDLE MY ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE TIME BEING.

Maybe they can teach you how to say "go fuck yourself" indian style.
