Dialed In: Your Lacrosse Fix for Thursday, December 7

Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:

1. The biggest lacrosse buzz of the day came from the White House.

Speaking at the third-annual White House Tribal Nations Summit, United States President Joe Biden announced his position of support for the Haudenosaunee Confederacy’s bid to compete as its own nation at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

"Their ancestors invented the game. They perfected it for millennia. Their circumstances are unique, and they should be granted an exception to field their own team at the Olympics." — @POTUS
