Because the name is cultural appropriation the name will be changed to "Ma-ka-tai-me-she-kia-kiak".

I have no doubt. I am just surprised, that it hasn’t happened yet. The rat bastards took away the name of my college team too, from the Fighting Sioux, to the Fighting Hawks. Screw them. From memory, I seem to remember there was some agreement with Ralph Englestad, or he would not let UND use his arena, which, I think, is the finest college hockey arena in the country. 😄😀

The Black Hawks were named after the founder’s WWI Black Hawk Battalion
