I also acted partly out of what I saw as a high-minded desire to support a politically weak ethnic group. It felt like a token of penance for the sufferings imposed on Native Americans over the centuries by the continent’s European conquerors and their descendants. 

Just as others have said: (liberal*) white guilt. 

 

*Yeah, I'm assuming, but he is an editor for the Washington Post so I'm pretty sure.

Thank you to the Native American community for verifying something I've believed for a long time! There's a big difference between a logo and having perpetual helpless mascot status forced on you by whiny liberal do-gooder pains-in-the-asses.

If Tex Hall (et al) should have their knickers in a twist over anything it should be that Ms. Warren claimed to be something she's not. 

Ms. Warren attempted to co-opt Native heritage and culture based on her claim of Native ancestry based on "high cheekbones". <-- That's pretty stereotypical and racist right there. 

I'll worry about Tex (et al) right after they call out Ms. Warren as racist for that.

It's unfortunate this whole native american nickname ban in the NCAA didn't happen in today's messed up times!!  If the NCAA came up with their rule about native american names and imagery, UND and the state of North Dakota could just hold a vote for people who identified as Sioux or native americans and they could have decided if they approve of the name or not.  :)

I'd noticed that around parts of the state (Gwinner and Forman areas). And the westbound sign on I-94 for the ND 30 interchange is updated, but not when you're eastbound on I-94.

Not sure where to put this but I am curious.... does anyone know if the bushes in front of the Ralph still spell out Fighting Sioux ? They do in Google maps but who knows how current that is.

That's just a coincidental act of gardening no intent there.

Mendoza's attorney said there are multiple witnesses that will back up his side of the story but at the time this story aired, none of those witnesses had returned News 9’s calls. 

I bet they are still trying to come up with a BS story. I don't believe Mendoza at all.

There was no outcry when the Indians played in Toronto during the regular season this season or any season dating back to 1977 when Toronto joined MLB. A simple solution, move the game back to Cleveland or Toronto forfeits. Cleveland should not have to change anything on their uniforms.
