From its creation by Native Americans almost one thousand years ago to more recent conflicts around race and class, sportswriter S. L. Price says so many complexities of American life are represented in the sport of lacrosse that it could be called "The American Game." The former Sports Illustrated senior writer talks with co-host Jeff Tiberii about how one North Carolina coach was instrumental in spreading the sport from the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic to the South and beyond.
