In Warroad, concern mounts over Minnesota bills prohibiting the use of American Indian nicknames

Elections have consequences. With the population of Minnesota being heavily based in the Metro and most of the elected officials in those districts not having to worry about being voted out of office the lunatic left is running the show in Minnesota. It is not a good thing when your legislature is trending on Twitter every other day during your legislative sessions....North Dakota has the same problem on the other end of the scale although the Republican party in ND has a little more of a breakup within the party between the right wing kooks, the moderate republicans and the socilaist wing of the Republican party which has dwindled bit since the oil boom.

The name Warriors isn’t specific to Native Americans. They may try to eliminate the imagery. I don’t recall seeing a mascot. 
As long as Henry Boucha is able relate the history of the school and the name it’s not likely to change. 
I would be curious to know if any impetus for change originates from the respective communities.

Merrimack gets away with "Warriors" with the NCAA. No imagery. An "MC" logo. 

 

With an "MC" logo ... shouldn't they be the ... Hammers? <-- Can't touch that!
