Brett Bucktooth, a member of the Iroquois Nationals Lacrosse team and Syracuse University’s 2004 national championship team, visit Times Square, New York, Monday, July 12, 2010. The 23 players on the Iroquois Indian lacrosse team cannot fly to England for what’s considered the Olympics of the sport because the U.S. government won’t allow them to re-enter the country on Iroquois nation passports. “This is a world championship. I am hoping there is a resolution to this problem quickly,” said Bucktooth. (AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews)
