Bad news for supporters of Sioux nickname

This is to reply to your statement since the gov. gives us freedom of speech PISS OFF! This Reply is to jordan johnson of Fargo ND

I agree with Jordan. keep the name for sure. It's not going to be the same anymore if they change it.

I am part Native American, and I too support the Fighting Sioux name and logo, however, it is because of attitudes and comments like Jordan's "Screw the Indians" that UND will NOT be able to keep the Fighting Sioux name and logo. His racist statement is one reason why the NCAA is taking it away, not because of the "indians".

this is so disgusting...just call them the fighting whatever or something...WHO THE HELL CARES?? this is way out of control...and that person jordan's comment just goes to show the ignorant stupid mentality of people in ND...u go hick boi!!!

People in NoDak aren't all idiots. Even those who support keeping the name, which is wrong, are decent folks, not all racists. This dingbat at the start is just a troll trying to stir stuff up for his own amusement.
The nickname and logo are insulting to lots of people, let's change the name like so many other schools have done and get over it. UND's always going to be about tremendous athletic teams (Especially hockey!) and a lot of pride for those of us who love the team, and we'll continue to love them if they're called something else.

No Dak red necks? How bout the crackers? Norsk Devels?Screw the indians? Hell, they been bent over the barrol and given it with no ky jelly long nuff!!!Its 2006, time ta change your racest attitudes! Why do people in No Dak hate everybody "not like us?"

Ohhhhh Gone Johnson. So full of joy. When ever you enter into the blog, my sould fills up with the spirit of love. You need to move on and embrace your new home of MAINE (heaven on earth), and forget about North Dakota (my heaven on earth...but your personal hell) so you can move on with your life. Your piss poor attitude and personality is killing you slowly but surely.

Erica,

If ever a person needed to be ignored, that's the one. Even were his hateful drool NOT full of the most ugly of vulgarity, it really has nothing of value to say. Ignore the child...

sin-loy ! I was raised in ND ta believe remarks like "SCREW THE INDIANS" was "ugly vulgarity" The "new NoDaks" on the other hand... And you think I have a "piss poor atitude"..........

come on now folks, let's just get along.. I think Erica and I should mate so we can show harmony among peoples. What do you say Erica?

keep the name Sioux, no one is racist and no reason not to, NCAA nor Indians has a right to tell anyone or any Univ or College to change their name!!! period!!!!

would anyone be upset if they call it the fighting white people???? hehehehe!!

J. J. If you only knew what you're talking about SCREW YOU!!!!!!!!!!

I hate the nickname, I always have, its embarassing as UND almumni. I don't think the name is used in a rascist way, but the supporters sure use rascist arguments, and the logo is awful. I think its just time to move on from the name, just change it. It really makes UND and the supporters of the nickname look bad. Its really a childish debate...

At what age do people stop playing "cowboys and indians" these days?

Forget JJ from Fargo. Racists such as that should not be listened to. But as far as changing the name goes, why? It is not an insult to the Souix and was never meant to be. It is a compliment if anything.

Most of you kids don't know what you're talking about, you're just yelling with no sense or logic behind it. the name Fighting Sioux is a name of pride. the logo is not ugly, but fierce. in my opinion, and i am part indian, i don't think the name should change. yes, there are some people who think that the name should be changed because it offends indians. how about the altanta braves, or the cleveland indians, or the washington redskins? should all of these teams change their team names? i don't think so.

What do you think Ralph would have to say about this? I hav't heard about any Native Americans giving back there land payment checks.Native Americans is two parts,the second being AMERICANS! I think we should turn the arena into a bingo parlor,then we could all sit next to each other and have fun!

Cannon Ball "Indians"; Fort Totten "Indians"; Parshall "Braves";
Standing Rock "Warriors"' Turtle Mountain "Indians"; What do these towns and schools all have in common? They are all North Dakota Reservation towns, and these are their High School Mascot names. Why are some people offended by "Fighting Sioux" but not offended by the names of the mascots for the towns above? I think the Fighting Sioux should change their mascot name if these towns change their names...but until this happens ... I say leave everything as is and everyone should find more important issues to fight about.

Ignorance asked a question... "would anyone be upset if they call it the fighting white people???? " ... Shouldn't she be offended by Native American high schools using "Indians" as their mascot?

Call yourself what u are UND Fighten' Norweigens!
