UND1983 Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Cancel culture. No lessons can be learned when it comes to black lives matter. Do something wrong and your fired or dismissed. 4 Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 I don't agree with this. Suspend them for a couple of games and have a serious one-on-one talk with each of them, but don't just cut them. They are missing a teachable moment here. 2 Quote
Siouxphan27 Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 What were they doing in the video? Was there a racial tone to the video, or was it the word alone that was solely the issue? Quote
undVBfan Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 I haven't seen the video myself, but I was told they were singing/syncing along with a song that featured an abundant use of the n-word. And now reading it's more than just the supposed song. Regardless, whatever it was isn't good. Quote

Stockdamhockey Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Was there a new incident or is this a reversal of the Ath. Dept's original decision? Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 For some, it isn't enough and they want the two off of campus. Quote

Are you implying this wasn't the first time? Mistake, errors of judgement, happen. I'm interested in your mistake; I'm more interested in what you do afterwards. That said, keep making the same mistake, the same error of judgement, and, well, you made the choice. < sound of hammer drop > To me the classic case was ... Brandon "Bucks" Bochenski (future mayor of Grand Forks ). He made a mistake. He atoned. He learned. He cleaned up his act. Quote

(I don't know details of what has or has not transpired; however, if there's this much uproar will they still be able to be students and student-athletes without constant "reminders" that will come ungracefully.)

You mean kinda like referring to the hockey team as the Fighting Sioux? Quote
The Sicatoka Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 All of that said, for those demanding this, a cordial reminder from John, chapter 8, verse 7. Everything lives forever on the internet. Quote

SWSiouxMN Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 The snap message is worse than the video in my eyes. Quote

Stockdamhockey Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Agree or not, Fighting Sioux was removed with rationale being it was racist. Does the continual reference to Fighting Sioux by hockey players and fans constitute the same speech? Or, are we now in an era where football players dictate punishment for volleyball players. And hockey continues to get a pass. Confused. Me too. Quote

A new era in speech is upon us. Racism is never justified. Speech is hard to govern. Context is important and the "goring of one's ox" is often the catalyst. I see "the reversal" of the decision as the discussion point. Quote

Because the leaders of one felt it was racist. I think there will be a significant change in hockey's use of Sioux. I'll be honest, I have a lot of Sioux gear but it feels really inappropriate to wear clothing with a giant Sioux head. Quote

The accusers are the victims in this situation. Who are you (or any of us) to tell people whether they should be offended or not. Especially about a racial slur. I live in 2020, where the teachings of Jesus are largely ignored by my fellow Christians. I don't see those being offended as casting stones. Quote

Almost certain Sicatoka's Bible qoute is for the benefit of posters on this board. 1 Quote
