so there's really no chance for the nickname at all anymore? a new nickname is guaranteed?

so couldn't we make a deal so they DO get some of the money? a little bit of the money for every piece of merchandise or ticket sold. we could raise prices on tickets and merchandise, sioux fans would still pay, and it'd still be worth it to keep the name.

I've always been had a question about the changing of the nickname. We did get permission by the Spirit Lake Band, so why not just change the name to Spirit Lake Band of Fighting Sioux?? Everyone would still know us as the Fighting Sioux for short, and Standing Rock might change it's stance once the Spirit Lake Band starts getting all the money from all sioux merchandise that is sold. then maybe standing rock will want some of that money again too.
