French article about a bad-tempered game (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lacrosse

'game' is the definition.
(lacrosse is a sport)

'french article about a bad-tempered' is the wordplay.
'french article' becomes 'le' (definite article in French).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'bad-tempered' becomes 'cross' (synonyms).
'a'+'cross'='across'
'le' enclosing 'across' is 'LACROSSE'.

(Other definitions for lacrosse that I've seen before include "Like thirteen of the other clues in the French" , "Ball game using netted stick" , "Sport played with sticks" , "Game played with netted sticks" , "Game played with nets on sticks" .)
