It's nice to know that you and @stoneysioux have my well-being on your mind. (I'm sure that is it, right? ) You, and the other "Siouxzis" (thank you for the inspiration for that term, one that works on several levels that I won't get into at this point) are, of course, free to have and express opinions. How scary it would be if we couldn't? (#america) You can call UND's sports teams Fighting Sioux, Flickertails, Glorious Trumps, Magnificent Clintons, Rainbow Unicorns, whatever. You should take some of your own advice though, and accept the opinion of people who have moved on and embrace reality. Remember this: we are 100%, unequivocally, the University of North Dakota Fighting Hawks. Hard to accept for you, isn't it? GO HAWKS! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see how my response would be seen as prodding, but it really isn't. I just don't understand how the act of the tweet and the "like" can embarrass someone. I legitimately feel sorry that that bothers you. You ask the question about him accepting the fact that we are the UND Fighting Hawks like we don't realize it's the actual name. We just don't like it. I'm not stupid. It's not hard to accept. But, the problem in lies that you and many others chastise the people who don't like the Hawks name/logo and think we are dumb or can't handle reality. We just don't like it. Simple as that. Simply put... I fully comprehend that the FH nickname is a real thing as do ALL of the other people who feel the same way as I. However, I don't like it and I won't support it. I'll buy UND gear without the nickname and logo to games. What's the point in making enemies over this? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that the fans (maybe not you or maybe you, I don't know) are being prodded on by the hockey program itself to not support the name or the logo. See the problem? And yes, the hockey fans are 100% susceptible to what the program itself supports and pushes. Fans can do whatever the F they want, nobody really cares other than on here and other social media garbage. But when an entity of the university itself doesn't support it....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that the team -- as an entity -- is coming out and telling people not to call the team Fighting Hawks? I've not seen that one time. Players, coaches, alumni have every right to support or not support the logo/name. I've seen many current players wearing Hawks gear.

They are all speaking their individual opinions. You don't like that, but that doesn't matter. The team, as an entity, hasn't done this one time.

The difference between the hockey team and any other sports team at UND speaks for itself when regarding the nickname, and not just the crowd wearing the Sioux jerseys that’s visible.

They individually all make their opinions clear on social media, which the fans embrace and thus feel they are in the right because the team doesn't support Hawks so why should they?

I mean, other than us discussing this on forums, social media, etc., are the athletic programs suffering? Sure doesn't feel like it. Resting blame directly on one side certainly won't help stop the problem. Both sides have entrenched people that overreact.

Overall, I think the overwhelming majority of fans do and are going to continue to support UND regardless of where they fall on this "debate". You hit the nail on the head...social media!! It is firing up more and more Sioux Forever fans (mostly hockey only) especially on hockey related pages of Facebook. The UND men’s hockey page, the REA, and Sioux Shop will post something and if anyone mentions a Hawk...BAM they get blasted as not a true fan, they make fun of the logo, and of course the *Sioux reply. This one is hilarious: I have been accused of working for the university to push the Hawk agenda onto those pages. So no one is a fan of the school anymore it’s either you are for the Sioux or you are lumped into the enemy group with the Bison and Gophers although more Gophers than Bison since we are taking hockey. The division of fans is still as strong as ever, and there are no signs of cracks in the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
