If given the opportunity to support my Bison brothers back in the day in a way that would have made them feel like I see them as equals, I would have done it in a heart beat and I hope that the rest of my teammates would have done the same. Those kids have been through some serious things together and likely had some pretty intense conversation revolving around these issues in the last 7 months. I'm glad that they are supporting each other through it. ? why wouldn't/didn't you see your "brothers" as equals? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dmksioux Posted October 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2020 I sure hope UND doesn’t start this BS during their season. College sports are the only sports I follow. I don’t need athletes using their supposed platform to tell me their political views. Do it on their own time, own social media, etc. As an alum, with differing views, who donates money to the University, that’s what I expect. If they choose to go political, I pull my support. Pretty simple. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will demand a refund kn season tickets and never donate again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your mind are the people of Minnesota mostly for or mostly against the topics mentioned in the OP? People in MN do not care or believe about a lot of this... the state is sooo divided and Minneapolis burned... elected officials ignored it. Businesses are closing all over... ND and SD look good to us. Our gov called outstate MN “just rocks and cows” and insulted our National Guard as a “bunch of 19 year old cooks.” Apathy is worse than negative behavior..... I did not watch the game but if the Bison took a knee NOT GOOD. Bad enough in pro sports but not college. Total reflection on the school and coaches. Sports should not be a political statement... but I am old, crotchety, and conservative. Did the Fourm have anything about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it. Lack of leadership. Lack of perspective. Lack of history. College football players should have enough intelligence and guidance to avoid alienating more than half their fan base. And, the financial support.....more than likely from successful business persons and high wage earners......these folks tend to lean right.

Mama Sue Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Some college teams do not have the players take the field until AFTER the National Anthem. If we have to not play the National Anthem because of some childish behavior.... that is sad. It says something about our society. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlinFlan80 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 18 hours ago, Gothmog said: There were 20 NFL draft scouts at the game Saturday. Why do you suppose they were all wasting their time (during a world-wide pandemic) on a "solid" QB. They could have concluded that without coming all the way to Fargo. Also, what exactly are your credentials as a NFL draft analyst? As a rule of thumb, when most experts disagree with you, it's probably you that are wrong. Grow up Peter Pan. My credentials are the same as yours, neither of us have any. What I am saying is that if I am a team in need of the QB I'm not taking him in the first round. As a matter of fact, I'm not considering any FCS player. I am looking at the blue bloods of big time D1 football where the risk is far less, rather than a team who plays Missouri State yearly. Just my thought process, but you can having your Thundering turd in Lance and I'll take Lawerence or Fields. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was trying to be helpful and let DMKsioux know he no longer has to live in the wreakage of the future. The furure has happened, the hockey program has been compromised. DMK does not need to wait to stop supporting UND. He can now send his Jefferson to the cult of his choie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
