    Ahhhhh......the "racist" card.  Always love that one. I think they are doing just fine on their own degrading themselves behind this "protest" charade. They should start by cleaning up their own societal ills.....and there are plenty but that would require a mirror and some accountability. Never has happened and never will so they'll latch onto a "noble cause" to deflect from their real issues.  It's a generational thing.  Yet pointing a gun and shooting dogs, livestock, or at someone else and blatantly breaking the law obviously aren't issues...and isn't "straight up wrong".

     

    There is no "race card" being played. If you are that ignorant to the reasons and causes for the social problems Native Americans face today, and find it right to degrade them by labeling all of them alcoholics, then that is your problem. I just have more respect for the struggles Native Americans face today and have faced in the past to make snide remarks like this. I'm not saying all of them are doing the right thing during this protest, but I don't make generalized comments that put a negative label on an entire culture. That's all I have to say about this...

    Sorry Rev. Jesse Jackson...............

    Hope you're as offended by all the illegal BS that's taking place day after day after day by all these folks who finally decided to stand up for a "cause".

    By degrading a certain race with a negative stereotype doesn't do any good. That's just straight up wrong and it isn't needed. If you wanna make racist comments do it elsewhere please.

    ........and this is over "clean water". 

    Yet that isn't even the main drink of choice with most of those folks protesting...............................  :whistling:

    That's a pretty awful comment... Not needed either.

    "Proud Fighting Sioux Fans".  The reason you are proud fans, is because the name of the school you support was the Fighting Sioux.  If UND would have been known as the Fighting Hawks for 80 years, you would be "Proud Fighting Hawk" fans.  My point is, the support you gave the Fighting Sioux name was because it was the name of the University of North Dakota athletic teams.  I get it that Fighting Hawks is not even close to being as good as Fighting Sioux on many levels.  But is is the nickname of the school in which you support.  If you think not embracing a new name and logo and refusing to accept the new name and logo is supporting the University, its teams, and its student athletes, that's your opinion. 

    One does not have to buy Fighting Hawks gear to support UND Athletics.

    By "most people" who are you referring to?  With the exception of hockey games, the majority of people are not wearing Sioux gear.  Sure there are some, but the majority are not.  When a new logo is out and new merchandise is for sale, you will see the majority of fans wearing the new gear.  Now the majority of people at hockey games may still wear Sioux gear, but that will change slowly over time.

    So while others are accepting the fact UND has a new nickname and logo, those that are stubborn will continue to wear the Sioux gear to games and not embrace the change and look foolish. 

    Dude, who made you the "what people will wear" expert? People who still wear the Fighting Sioux gear aren't stubborn, they are still proud Fighting Sioux fans. Who the hell are you to judge them... You don't see people still wearing Sioux gear criticize those who say they will wear the new logo. Most just say they won't buy it. Go ahead and buy your Fighting Hawks gear, but don't judge others who won't. Ridiculous.
