The test run for this dreck was the NCAA's siege of the University of North Dakota team nickname "Fighting Sioux" and the logo (designed and drawn by Bennett Brien, a Native American), approved by the Spirit Lake Sioux Tribe.

In typical liberal derisive fashion, the NCAA assumed the Sioux were incapable of being sufficiently offended and decided to be offended for them. They found a couple of grievance studies types to voice opposition, and a tradition went down after a long fought battle (some six or seven years).

The Sioux, a warrior tribe, had no problem with the nickname, and the logo was respectfully accurate in its depiction of a warrior.

PC is BS, and I won't play the game.

They did the same thing with My alma mater. Said the name was derisive and insulting to the Indian tribe with that name. The Indian tribe’s response? “we don’t mind. In fact We kinda like it.”. They changed the name anyway. Liberalism is a mental illness.

I’m still waiting for the NCAA to take down Florida State...oh wait, they have more money than UND. UND plays better hockey than FSU anyday.

I live in North Dakota and I wear a Fighting Sioux hoodie all the time.
Every where I go here everyone has some form of the Fighting Sioux logo, especially on the Three Affiliated Tribes rez and they are not Sioux
