After realizing their opponents were at a disadvantage, the Israelis surprise the Africans with a useful gift. Israels under-19 Womens lacrosse team showed some true sportsmanship during the World Championship in Ontario, Canada, last week, after they realized their opponents were playing at a disadvantage.
During their match against Kenya in Peterborough on August 6, the Israelis noticed the underfunded African team did not have cleated shoes as is standard in the sport. The grass was wet from rain and the Kenyans were slipping and having great difficulty with the field conditions. Israel eventually won the game 13-4.
Ashlee Aitken, a liaison for the Kenyan team in Canada, told Global News: Unfortunately the cleats that they had ordered and sent to Canada all came in the wrong sizes so they had no shoes to play.
The Israeli team members decided to take action, and spoke with their parents who agreed to fund shoes for the Kenyan athletes. The Israelis contacted the Kenyan coach and discretely obtained the girls sizes, then found a store in town that could quickly supply the order.

Those pesky Jews at it again!
Exactly!
Just wait until the Africans use those cleats to stomp on their opponents heads!
Cant fix stupid
I expect them to ID the company selling the shoes and call for a boycott.
The two counties are quite close.

Israeli's aren't all "white" - and the Israeli lacrosse team has at least two members who look brown.
but Israel is NOT a racist state. It doesn't discriminate against Arabs (who have seats in parliament) or others.
“He’s the Neighborhood Bully”
Fabulous display of sportsmanship. Kudos to the Israeli team!
Agreed- Israel is always like this- even saving terrorists that try to kill them when they need help- (ie: They admit them to hospitals to save their lives- treat conditions etc- palis wouldn’t do that for jews)
Exactly!
Wasted money. Abebe Bikila of Ethiopia won the 1960 Olympic marathon in Rome running barefoot.
The girls on both sides have a lot of sweet.
It makes me immoderately happy.
