Or the people who still haven't accepted it, yet make fun of the "liberals" for being butthurt despite being quite "butthurt" themselves? How much butt could a butthurt hurt, if a butthurt could hurt butt? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayduke Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 8 hours ago, darell1976 said: Ditto. It's the Fighting Hawks now. That's the way it is going to be. Let the school, the students, the community embrace it. It doesn't mean you can't wear Fighting Sioux gear. But, suck it up and let them enjoy the new name. JHC, once more about the new nickname - grow up and get over it. I have my Sioux gear, but I'm getting sick of this BS. It's embarrassing. One more thing. I cheer for the University of North Dakota at intercollegiate sporting events. They are now the Fighting Hawks. It doesn't change the fact that I have cheered and will continue to cheer for the University of North Dakota. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found it humorous that the word "spearhead" was used after we ditched the "Fighting Sioux" nickname and logo. Isn't that suppose to be racist or something?

Not for 40 year old "adults" who complain about everything that doesn't make them happy. I disagree. For instance. I dislike thay we retired the logo. I don't dislike that we picked a new name but I dislike the name that was picked. However I've accepted both of these and can move on. The logo itself is just awful and frankly I think it's indefensible. I actually want a mascot. That was a downside to the Sioux logo. In summary, much of the complaining is due to poor choices made by presidents and their various committees. But that doesn't mean that we are all the same or that people can't move on. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
