She is a UND grad and a politician, I'm not sure why you guys are even wasting your time with her. She is a lost cause that must be voted out of office.
This will all be better when Bison fan learn to say und sucks. It is kind of sad when the chants and remarks are not directed towards the Sioux tribes but rather the nickname of an institution who has people so dearly fighting to keep. So which is it? Is it a nickname or a direct representation of Native Americans? If it is a direct representation, then your entire fight to keep the nickname because it is only a nickname fails. If it is just a nickname, then there is no harm because it is using a nickname of an institution rather than the proper name.
Personally, I feel und is irrelevant. Their own head coach said in today's paper their win in Men's BB against NDSU was their greatest achievement since moving up. Look at the difference in expectations of these schools. NDSU has always been an institution that measures its success with national prominence. und has always measured its success relative to what NDSU is doing at any given time. A mid-January, meaningless game has completely made und's season a success. We all have goals.
und sucks.
Most of the non-racist Sioux fans gave up on the name when the AG and NCAA came to an agreemant. The ones left are racist and only want the name kept to show they have control over those they claim to honor. I think one trait of racism is to reign power over another person and the fear of losing that power. Self rightous pride and fear of losing power defines the remaining people who fight for the name. They are trying to deflect their own racism on Bison fans who's only crime is to cheer against their rivals in the same manner as any other team in America does. To do less is just plain un-american. That is my opinion, my observations alone...
Reading that back reminds me of that character Jonny Carson used to portray. Floyr R Turbo (I think was the name).
I felt the same way when NDSU beat them last year. To an extent, I think the season is successful whenever we beat UND and SDSU.
Sioux* and Jacks suck.
*Before anyone starts jumping up and down about this, I'm referencing UND athletics, not the actual peoples. Just like any other person that says it.
I'm coo-coo for Coco's puffs!

Do not speak of that of about which we talk of not speaking... about.
