Warrior is term of honor and respect in Indian culture and is recognized as properly applied in sports. One of the great college football upsets was in 1912 when a Carlisle Indians team that included Jim Thorpe and was coached by Pop Warner beat Army at West Point.

Before the game, Warner spoke to his team: "Your fathers and your grandfathers are the ones who fought their fathers. These men playing against you today are soldiers. They are the Long Knives. You are Indians. Tonight, we will know if you are warriors." The Carlisle Indians then beat Army 27-6.

The lived experience of peoples at any time matters less to the Left than their modern sensitivities and how they can assert control over the culture, our thoughts and how we see ourselves. They sow fear, uncertainty and doubt for power and profits.
