It’s the Fighting Sioux in the tweet that people are having issues with. Exactly. Which is a very miniscule....some may even say infinitesimal, thing to point out and complain about. If the hockey team uses the tradition of the program to rally around, who are we to judge. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't think a mascot helps this timeline. I could be biased in this instance, I suppose It took UND 60 years to get a Fighting Sioux mascot lasted one year and now 25 years later here we are again.

To some it would seem like it was dropped an hour ago. Keep telling people to move on... seems like the strategy has been effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Person 1: Go Fighting Hawks Person 2 replying to comment: you mean Sioux. Person 1: no I mean Hawks Person 2: real UND fans say Sioux, you are too PC with your USPS logo. So again it’s a circle that needs to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So again it’s a circle that needs to stop. Try this.... let them say it... move on and eventually that person's hard line will likely change. You arguing is actually going to make it worse. And if that particular person's hard line doesn't change, most others will. You don't have to continue the circle. You're choosing to do so rather than letting this process run it's course. Good for you that you've moved on. Others haven't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but to end the circle that Darell is talking about, someone is going to have to "be the bigger man." The Hawks group is asking the the "Forever Sioux" group to change on THIER timeline and not the other way around, for the most part. MOST "Forever Sioux" fans realize the name isn't coming back and they are ultimately fighting a losing battle. Riding it out and biting the tongue seems to be the less stressful route for the Hawks crowd. Just my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 10 Fighting Sioux jerseys that should last me my life time so ill just keep wearing those to the hockey games and see how many fighting hawks fans I can make go to their safe spaces! Not all of them, just the ones that really get butt hurt when they see or hear the Fighting Sioux name get mentioned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdub27 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Well, obviously 6 years isn't enough for some people to move on. UND should probably just halt everything for another decade and see if they'll come around and accept reality that it's just a nickname and logo, not a deity. Life is full of changes, it is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is too much for you to handle, find your nearest safe space where you can make up your own reality. Maybe someday you can come out and be ready to live in the real world.

You can't be surprised that people haven't accepted a nickname that was never anyone's first choice...better make that a decade and a half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
