Originally posted by MinnesotaNorthStar View PostI wouldn't call it a change of heart, he's still pro-nickname. He probably just realizes that there are more pressing issues to the tribe then a nickname. A lot of the anti-nickname people could learn from this...
They've had ample time to deal with this issue. They could have come right out and said "absolutley not" or "go ahead". Instead they're waffling on levels that rival Brett Favre.
Now it appears instead of a yes or a no it's going to a deadline that does the name in? Preposterous.Last edited by ScoobyDoo; 11-03-2009, 01:30 PM.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

Ron His Horse Is Thunder is a way cooler name for a tribal leader than Charles Murphy.Places I've seen a college hockey game: Agganis Arena, Alfond Arena, Bright Center, Consol Energy Center, Conte Forum, DCU Center, Fenway Park, Gutterson Fieldhouse, Houston Field House, Lawler Arena, Madison Square Garden, Matthews Arena, Mullins Center, Schneider Arena, Scottrade Center, Sears Centre, Tampa Bay Times Forum, TD Bank Sports Center, TD Garden, Tsongas Center, Tully Forum, Verizon Center, Verizon Wireless Arena, Walter Brown Arena, Wells Fargo Center, Whittemore Center

Re: Fighting Sioux name may change - Murphy's law
I don't have a dog in this hunt. But I am unable to understand why it's considered appropriate for one group of Americans (and a small group at that) to have veto powers over how another and much larger group of Americans expresses itself.
Balkanization of America is not in the best interests of the country or the groups we seek to "protect" from hurt feelings. Thanks to grandstanding Chicago politicians who threatened the university's revenue, Illinois was forced to cave in on the issue of Chief Illiniwek. Iconoclasts everywhere rejoiced, but what had they really accomplished other than ending a harmless tradition revered by tens of thousands?
Similarly, what will be accomplished by ending the Fighting Sioux tradion? Nothing. The iconoclasts, again, will delight in their success but will have destroyed something revered by tens of thousands. Nothing else.2011 Poser of the Year & Pulitzer Prize winning machine gunner.

But know I will act mad and upset so that Jockstock thinks he got under a Sioux fans skin.
In reality, I accepted long ago that the Sioux name will eventually be gone. If it evades "retirement" this time around, the PC police will get it the next time...or the next time...etc. I will support my team regardless of the nickname on their jersey.I like chocolate milk and Kate Beckinsale and Lauren Graham and Brooke Burke and Elisha Cuthbert and Eva Longoria.

Originally posted by ScoobyDoo View PostThat's not really my point and you know it. And yes, they could have taken care of it 5 minutes after they were put in place, instead they're dragging their feet and drawing it to a ridiculous conclusion. The tribal leader appears in his whining about "timetables" and "preconditions" to "want something" out of the negotiations. It's comical at best.
Since when do things ever get done quickly anywhere? Look at the health care bill. That has been discussed endlessly and where is it at now? At the rate you think the Standing Rock tribe should accomplish things, the health care bill should have been implemented in July. Now sure it would be great if the Standing Rock Tribe just did something one way or the other, but that isn't realistic after one month. That just isn't how things work.
If the SBoHE doesn't extend the deadline again, they are foolish. 95% of UND alumni are in support of the nickname and seemingly a majority of SR residents are as well. Ignoring all of these people just to meet an arbitrary deadline is idiotic.Last edited by Dirty; 11-03-2009, 02:47 PM.Hollywood Hair Care Tip for Infinity (Directly from Hollywood himself)

I guess those pesky African Americans (12.7% a few years ago) should just shut up when the much larger white population calls them something inappropriate?I love BC people - without them, everyone would want to move to Boston. They keep the numbers down. - Bill Simmons
