Sooners were white settlers who snuck in and staked claims “sooner” than the territory had been officially open.
Sooner means Cheater.
Cheater = Democrat.
THAT’S why they are offended.

“Sooners were white settlers who snuck in and staked claims “sooner” than the territory had been officially open.”
Sooners were ‘officials’ that could legally enter early and then staked claims before the opening.
Moonshiners were the ones that snuck in early.
That was the story I heard in American History about 60 years ago.
I always thought Sooner an appropriate moniker for people from OU. It fits well in many cases.
