If it costs a trillion, it's all worth it to be politically correct...(sarc)

These names came about at a time when we were trying to preserve the heritage of the indians.
So.....Begone....All Indian references....by your own foolishness. That is your history!!

[sarc] Perhaps we should retire and strip away all of these offensive references: Dakota, Mississippi, Illinois, Topeka, Milwaukee, and indirect references from the Kansa and the Ioway. Then we could rename these places with the right politically correct names. Missouri can be Political District #24 and Tulsa can be Work Camp #212. Ahhh. Paradise! And no one has their feelings hurt. [now get back to work!]

Did the “Fighting Irish” get retired?

Just get some whiteout and make it “Fighting S_u_x”. Shouldn’t cost more than 30 bucks.

Would they be happier with the “Surrendering, Gay Sioux”?

Perhaps with the oil boom going on in ND, UND should be called, the UND “Frackers”.

When Miami University in Ohio was pressured to change its nickname from the Redskins, I suggested that they just change the university’s name too so that the Miami tribe would be forgotten completely. Odd, that plan wasn’t appreciated. My other suggestion was that the name be changed from the Redskins to the Drunken Frat Boys because you are far more likely to run into those on a weekend that any Indians.

Are members of the various Lakota tribes offended or is this just the concern of the politically correct crowd? I expect that soon this idiocy will expand with groups like PETA demanding an end to sports teams named Lions, Tigers, Bears etc.?

Ask the entire Souix Nation. If they say dump then do it, if they say keep it then tell the NCAA to stuff it and to SHUT UP.
