Lacrosse is far from the most diverse sport — something you could probably guess without even diving into the numbers.

Luckily, the Daily Orange dove into exactly that with an extensive feature that also spoke to various figures within the Syracuse program.
Among the most notable people interviewed was former SU star Jovan Miller, who describes his own experiences with intolerance within the sport, and also talks about the education issue that comes from most lacrosse players being raised in similar backgrounds and situations that lack diversity (and at times, the right parental guidance).
