At UND the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo (done by a native artist), were fought against for nearly a decade by the NCAA before they succumbed. Neither the Spirit Lake Tribe nor most individuals found anything demeaning in either the logo nor the celebration of a warrior heritage.
Who gets to be so smart (and condescending) they can be offended for an entire people (they demean by being offended for them--which implies they aren't smart enough to be offended for themselves)?
Ban Liberals, quick!
Having attended UND myself, screw the NCAA. The Fighting Sioux, will always be the Fighting Sioux.
