If Fighting Sioux are bad then Cowardly Sioux are good?

Dartmouth's founders had a very different attitude about Indians as did the terrified townspeople. The arrival of the "fighting Sioux" would be met with militia.

Dartmouth athletics director Josie Harper... Excuse me, but what kind of wussy school has a woman AD?
How does the lady stand to watch hockey, anyway? It's all so....violent!
P.S. I wonder if she calls the penalty box a "time-out"...

LOL
From Ivyleaguesports.com - Harper is Dartmouth’s seventh athletic director and the first woman to hold this position both at Dartmouth and in the Ivy League.
Wonder when they'll ban football.

That's OK, let them keep up this nonsense. It just drives more and more people into the Republican Party.
The Dems and politically correct east and west coast elites show once again how little they have in common with Americans.
The great majority of us find this kind of chicken $--t funny. These folks should charge a fee for the entertainment.

Didn't I read somewhere a while ago the UND mascot is used with the support of the Sioux?

IIRC, They took a vote or did a survey of local Indian tribes before they could use the name, and the Indians were overwhelmingly supportive.

I find Dartmouth's mascot "Big Green" extremely insensitive to my people the Irish.
As a Mick "Big Green insinuates that I am well endowed and puts a lot of pressure on me.

Apologising when no apology is needed.
Nobody asked for an apology, its seems the only ones offended are the NCAA and I dont believe they are led by the Sioux.
Just looking for trouble where there is none.

That's just not good enough. He needs to pay them a lot of money as well and that will make it all better, whatever it was.
