The ongoing saga of North Dakota's fight against the NCAA political correctness police. UND's athletics logo is anything but "hostile and abusive" as the NCAA claims. Finally, Indians from a state reservation have had enough of white guys at the NCAA telling everyone what is offensive to Native Americans.

And when did this tribe file for a copyright?

Have the Fighting Irish and the Fighting Illini commented?

How about UND make their logo “The fightin’ John ‘Injun Liver-Eatin’ Johnsons”

Rumors, legends, and campfire tales abound about Johnson. Perhaps chief among them is this one: In 1847, his Native American wife was killed by the Crow people, which prompted Johnson to embark on an almost 12-year vendetta against the tribe. The legend says that he would cut out and eat the liver of each man killed. This was an insult to Crow being that the Crow Indians used to eat the raw livers from their game because they believed it gave them the vitality of the animal that they ate.

Wow, they got 1,004 petitioners from the Standing Rock reservation! They must have included all the dogs and Antelopes.

I thought they wanted to be called Lakota.

The Lakota were originally referred to as the Dakota when they lived by the Great Lakes.

I can’t keep up.

Considering the Sioux tended to historically be more militant against white folks than some of the other tribes with its war history, that says something.

Here in Michigan, we have the Central Michigan Chippewas and the Eastern Michigan Hurons. The mostly white NCAA and PC police hated both of those names. The Chippewas stayed the Chippewas due to an agreement with the large Ojibwe/Chippewa tribe in Mt Pleasant and a lot of hell raised. The Hurons however became the Eagles, and some small Huron tribes, balked because they figured that nobody would remember them. I've never even knowingly seen a Huron.

I couldn't get through these names without spraying the monitor with coffee.

I went to the University of North Dakota. Go Sioux.

Sounds like what happened with the FSU Seminoles.

The university has a very close relationship to the Seminole Nation and Chief Osceola appears at the home games riding "Renegade". Very impressive if you're there at the game.

The Seminole Nation told the NCAA to find a better use for their time instead of deciding what is or isn't right for the Seminoles.

Perhaps the lawsuit papers were served at NCAA headquarters.

You know, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The Indians are the good guys in this. They like the name being used by the college and are insulted that the NCAA thinks the name of their tribe is somehow offensive and should not be used. The tribe is telling the PC libs at the NCAA to lighten up.
