I don't want to see you two fight. You need a bonding moment. Collaborate on an essay about how shirts with sublimated gradients can combat ethnocentrism. "Colors Coming Together." Profound stuff.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

Old or not it still makes a pretty good point...

Wahoo is an inherentry racist symbol. Nobody could really deny this. Nobody could look at that grinning mug and say, ?No, it?s really a flattering portrayal of Native Americans, who were conquered, nearly wiped off the planet by our ancestors and then forced to live on reservations.?

"Inherentry racist?" Was that written by a Chinaman or something?

No. A sports writer. I'm surprised he got that close with the spelling.

There were spelling mistakes all over the place in the article.

Yeah, that was kinda the joke.

1. Sarcasm is best when it's funny.

2. Chinaman is pretty much perceived by everyone to be racist. I confirmed this with several people of Chinese descent.

3. Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature, dude.

Interesting. The state of North Dakota legislature apparently has nothing better to do.

Even after this, the school is still going to retire it. Just end it already, it's getting embarassing.

The North Dakota Legislature is saying the NCAA had no business saying the Fighting Sioux nickname is, to use the NCAA's words, "hostile and abusive." The legislature is also saying the state Board of Higher Education was wrong in caving in to the NCAA.

The NCAA did allow that UND could keep the Fighting Sioux nickname if it the two Sioux tribes in North Dakota voted in favor of keeping the nickname. The Spirit Lake Tribe overwhelmingly voted in favor of it. The Standing Rock Tribe council didn't even allow a vote. There is a strong feeling here in North Dakota that had the Standing Rock council allowed a vote, the tribal members would have overwhelmingly favored the nickname.

The legislature was basically saying the NCAA should never have gotten into this business. In the process of doing so, North Dakota is putting the Fighting Sioux nickname into state law, and is saying the tribes must vote against the nickname for it to be discarded.

The state house and senate passed the bill, and the governor said he will sign it. Expect it to end up in court. Stay tuned.
