SiouxVolley Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Haven't seen this posted, but delete it if it has been. The LA Times talks about UND hockey, but takes obligatory shots at Engelstad, our Naziism, and anti-Sioux stands too. http://www.latimes.com/sports/more/la-sp-one-team-wonders-20170529-story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndySioux Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 If I am not mistaken, UND does field a Division 1 football team. The shots he took at Engelstad and the Sioux name debacle do not surprise me given it is the LA times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberkas Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 A lot of schools, even FBS schools, would fall under one team wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 "However, Engelstad’s donation came at a price. He was known to throw parties on Adolf Hitler’s birthday, and he seemed to go out of his way to insult the Sioux tribes, whose name North Dakota used to use as its nickname." In what way?

Engelstad didn't yield to the Sioux tribal chairmen demands, so he was into Naziism according to their logic. Evergreen State shows that you have to give in on all demands to minority students, except Asians of course because they do well, like no homework and no white people day, otherwise you are a Nazi and racist.

I'm about 100% sure the Nazi comments have nothing to do with his stance on Natives and 100% to do with... the birthday parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoiseInsideMyHead Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Complete hack piece. Less than a generation removed from a football title; only a handful of years into full DI membership. It's not like UND didn't have a solid footprint at DII. I hope the LAT didn't actually pay for this garbage. The arena, the nickname, and Ralph's personal life are low-hanging fruit and, frankly, as story points are old and tired. Journalism is long dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 And some wonder why the populace is skeptical of the media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude recycled the same story that shows up any time one of the schools makes a run. I can just about write it as it is so predictable and trite and by wrote. Hopkins lacrosse, North Dakota hockey, Gonzaga hoops, yadda-yadda-yadda. < yawn > 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
