(Syracuse, NY) “America’s First Sport,” a documentary about lacrosse, the oldest and — in the 21st century the fastest growing — sport in America, will air on ESPNU this Saturday, March 29th on ESPNU at 11am.
The documentary was written, produced and directed by Dennis Deninger, Professor of Practice at Syracuse University’s Falk College Department of Sport Management. Students in The History of Sport class at Syracuse University’s Department of Sport Management researched the history, current status and future prospects of lacrosse during the 2012-13 academic year. The documentary film is a product of that research. The ESPNU airing is the US television premiere of the film.
