If it was a conservative organization suing, this school would be ignoring them.

Just change the name to “the fighting Sue”, there problem solved.

[ClearCase_guy]

I suggest they rename themselves as the “Fighting Sue”.

And he said: “Son, this world is rough
And if a man’s gonna make it, he’s gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn’t be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you’d have to get tough or die
And it’s the name that helped to make you strong.”

How about.. “The fighting Troopers”!

The Sioux should be proud that their warrior heritage is still recognized. Instead, they are as PC as everyone else in this country.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

If they lose the right, will the Sioux tribe oppose the nickname “The Fighting Cavalry” and their mascot “General Custer”?

[Badeye]

So they’ll change it to what?

Disgrunteled Sioux?

Conquered Sioux?

Casino Sioux?

The whole world wonders.....

[Andonius_99]

If the tribe doesn’t OK it, can the school Sioux to keep it anyway? *rimshot!*

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

well they’d beter rename Sioux Falls, and everything else named Sioux-whatever.

[Uri’el-2012]

I was taught that name Sioux was a pejorative term used by other
tribes of the people who called themselves "The People" or Lakota.

"WHAT, ME WORRY?"

[Froufrou]

This article has me seeing red ping!

[Miles the Slasher]

How about the “Fighting 7th Cavalry”, or the “Fighting Seventh”...?

Ok..I am Irish...will Notre Dame ask if they can use the “Fighting Irish”?

[Dante3]

The names of the NCAA members who have to reach for their meds every time they see an Indian mascot should be published. The NCAA has turned into a corrupt organization. Once they have forced their will regarding mascots and team names in their demented power grab, what is next? They prohibit teams from playing in communities with names such as Sioux City?

[lilylangtree]

How much is the Sioux gonna charge will be the bottom line.

[VOA]

If the nickname is changed, UND would have to remove most of its Indian
imagery on its Grand Forks campus.

Well, if the Sioux themselves dislike the school's tribute to their
fighting spirit...
I'd be tempted to rename the team "The Aboriginal Losers" for a
season or two.

Just to stick a stick in the eye of the political-correctness weinies.

[John Jorsett]

How about The Fighting Sue? Their logo could be Johnny Cash, or a man chasing an ambulance.

[adgirl]

As a person of Irish extraction, I will not rest until Notre Dame shows me the same respect as they have to show the Sioux. Fighting Irish indeed, why we get along famously with everybody . . . and don’t give me any lip about it or I’ll come over there and kick your butt.

Not to be taken as a threat, but the Lakota reservations in ND are very poor places that count on handouts from the state government. (As elsewhere little of the gaming money makes it to the average tribe member) If this doesn’t fly it will be much harder for these funds to continue.

[Boiler Plate]

They could use the Sioux City Airport as a mascot.

The Flying SUX!
