Those poor Chicken Hawks are going to have to use something like this as their new logo unless they want to start a fight with PETA and the Sierra Club.

After three years of waiting, the University of North Dakota's sports programs have a nickname again.
UND president Robert Kelley announced Wednesday that the former "Fighting Sioux" will now be known as the "Fighting Hawks," the nickname chosen by UND voters in an online voting runoff over runner-up "Roughriders." The "Fighting Sioux" moniker was controversially dropped at the NCAA's behest in 2012, sparking years of debate and discussion over what the university's athletics programs -- perhaps most notably, its powerhouse men's hockey program -- should be called instead.

The Audubon Society has raised objections..
The Chicken Hawks or Fighting Noodles would work.
When’s Illinois changing theirs?
Finally, I can sleep now.
When will “Sioux City Sue” be changed to “Hawk City Sue”?
As have the Falconry aficionados!
In relation to the story at Princeton, too bad North Dakota didn’t become the Fighting Woodrows.
Their infamous Audubon killed and mounted every bird he drew.
Mounting them? Very perverse IMHO..
Whatever. Not worth getting sued & scalped by the Sioux.
Bttt
The Stupidity Society, has raised many objections. The Honorable Foghorn Leghorn is their ESQ., by record. Care to enjoin? The first prima facsimile, is that the Siouxan people are not enjoined to say anything, about any bullshit the after-market indigenous- have to say about anything, anywhere, or anytime.
Doesnt the term, fighting, offend anybody?
More like the Weeping Squaws.
I just don’t get it!
I have always thought that sports teams were named after things closely related to native American tribes, customs and artifacts as a form of respect.
I guess I’m just an old fart who is too stupid to discern the horrific disrespect on display when someone names a sports team after something they see as powerful and honorable...like for instance “The Atlanta Braves” Who knew that they were actually trying to poke fun at native Americans?
After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.
Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.

Yankees
Texans
Mavericks
Royals
Padres
Vikings
Warriors
Kings
Of those the only one that is truly pejorative is Yankee yet noone asked to rename those teams
What will be the new name for those wimps formally known as the University of Missouri Tigers?
Should have changed it to something more appropriate like the “Wusses.”
I know someone named Siouxzie. Guess she will have to change her racially insensitive name to Hawkzie or something equally stupid.
What about Siouxie Sioux?
