Just because you trademarked it doesn't make it nonabusive, or hostile. I guess the NCAA has agreed with me. They find it to be hostile or abusive! So your question was? What if I had a logo with a farmer with a pitch fork. called UND
"the Farming Caucasians"! would you appreciate that? I think there would be some of you, that find it offensive.
Dude, go for it. I'm a farmer and I'd love to see it be the "Farming Caucasians". That would be sweet. ND is a rural, farming state, so why not make it that. It's a name. Not being used as an insult. Do you think the "Fighting Sioux" nickname was intended to be taken insultively? No. You are just being a big baby about it.
You might not be honored to have a school named after you, but you sure don't have to affended by it. I suppose if you look at everything with a racist attitude, you can find something racist about it.
You just have an attitude right now that you think just because you have ancestors who were treated so poorly (which they were) and you feel that we should all give you sympathy and pitty for anything that might be taken abusive or hostile. I guess I'd be really affended if it was the UND "Fighting Famers"...*sarcasim*
First of all it is "O"ffended. Second of all they did not use the Sioux name to honor us! Do you think these backwards hillbillies thought, "what name could we use that will honor someone, How about the Fighting Sioux?" They decided to name the school after the Sioux, because they killed bison.
Just being a big baby? I would beg to differ, I hold a four year degree, and I would rather use my mind to fight my battles, believe me I could use my physical attributes to fight my battles, but only dummies do that, and when I see something I strongly believe against, I stand up for it. I hope that you do not spread your ignorance down to your children, if so I hope they educate themselves and understand the backwards ways you & others have displayed on this website.
