From the Arizona Republic: Indians' return may fuel mascot debate

My point is that we get into playing these word games in which members of a minority choose to be offended based on their misinterpretation of an innocent word or phrase. To show sensitivity, we scramble to ban words that were never intended to be insulting or demeaning, thereby enabling the minority of a minority to trample the free speech rights of the majority for no good reason. I no more believe that the owner of an NFL team intentionally selected the name "Redskins" knowing that it was derogatory than I believe that UND intentionally selected the name "Sioux" knowing it was derogatory. It makes absolutely no sense to name a sports team after people held in low regard. To illustrate, does annyone remember this infamous incident?

I acknowleged the loss of the riverside neighborhoods. Obviously, Lincon Park golf course was gone after the flood. Memorial Stadium was on the way out because the Alerus Center had been approved by voters before the flood. So it was effectively gone. A lot of the downtown places you mention might have been there. I don't know. I'm not-hang-out-at-the-local-bar kind of guy. Whitey's is the only one I remember. I do know that as a visitor to Grand Forks and later as a resident, I considered the downtown area seedy and rundown. It was an embarrassment, as far as I was concerned. I would avoid taking my friends and relatives down there when they visited. At any rate, you and DaveK think Grand Forks was a better place before the flood. I don't. We'll have to agree to disagree.

Here's what the summons dated Oct. 6 says:

Yes. If I'm counting correctly.

Now we know where Donald Trump got the idea.

Taffe was a hack and you'll never convince anyone here that he wasn't. What Prpich did or didn't do is irrelevant to the discussion.

What's interesting in these debates is that some American Indians words have taken on meanings that were never intended. For example, this Web site on Siouan languages says that the origin of the word "squaw" has nothing to do with the negative connation it's been assigned:

What little you had was just flushed down the toilet.

But was it 20 calendar days or 20 business days?

The more you continue to defend Taffe and claim to know what other coaches thought of him, the more you damage your own credibility here.

I'm just here to help.

Lennon said on the radio this morning that UMD's offense would be very similar to MS-Mankato's offense.

Get DaveK and NorthDakotaHockey in a cage fight and then you'd know.

Why do you think I started the countdown.

They're real sudo goosebumps.

3, 2, 1....

How much of what you two miss would have changed regardless of the flood? Much of what Local Boy mentions was gone even before I moved here in 1992. I also hated to see the neighborhoods along the river go because they were part of the city's unique character. But the fact is, if they were still there, Grand Forks wouldn't be safe from future flooding and we'd all be paying outrageous flood insurance premiums. Plus, good luck in getting businesses to stay here or in attracting new businesses. Heck, my hometown is hardly recognizeable from the way it was when I grew up. It hasn't experienced any kind of disaster of the magnitude that hit Grand Forks. Things change. Some change is for the better and some isn't.

They're just a bunch of Derek Zoolander wanna-bes.

Excuse me, but my Lawrence Welk tapes are on eigh-track, which rules.

I have goose bumps!

He got the penalty he deserved.

You wouldn't know a fact if one hit you between the eyes.
