Fighting Sioux nickname retired
I'm really upset that after a battle that has gone on since I've been a little kid has finally been lost. The college I grew up around, went to, and graduated from has finally lost the battle for the right to name their sports teams "Fighting Sioux."
Personally, this is complete bullshit and I don't see how the nickname can be offensive to Native Americans. There are two major tribes close to UND and one of them was in support of the nickname... it was only a small amount of troublemakers that whined loud enough that eventually after years of work they finally see the fruits of their labor.
Now a really awesome name and logo will be forgotten forever. Now who will even remember there were Native Americans in ND if they didn't just finish reading a history book?
For more on the final, lost battle go here.
