Why is a Native American lacrosse team tweeting as Gaeilge?
Ireland has pulled out of the International World Games to give their space to the Iroquois Nationals, who represent the people who invented the game, and to whom it is sacred https://www.rte.ie/amp/1163463/  https://twitter.com/IRQ_Nationals/status/1301595788968067073

The Iroquois Nationals were initially excluded "on the grounds that they were not a sovereign nation, without an Olympic Committee".
When this was overturned - if a place could be found - Ireland pulled out
