Jackasses.
What am I talking about, why this logo of course. The "Fighting Sioux" logo of the University of North Dakota.
I think it kicks ass. If I were a Sioux tribe member I would be proud that I am represented as powerful yet with a dignified poise. Do the Sioux deny their warrior heritage? Or are they upset that past stereotypes and portrayals still stick in -some- peoples' minds? I think that is their problem. Kids these days aren't even allowed to play tag, much less "Cowboys and Injuns!".....hell would get expelled for pointing a frigging finger gun at someone these days. pansies.
Would you rather the logo was this?
Now that would upset me, as it makes me appear not-quite-sane.
No. I think the real issue is the do-gooder PC crowd got their panties in a bunch when Ralph Engelstad built his shrine; err I mean built his hockey arena for the University.
Now, Ralph, being no dummy, made sure that the logo would never, ever get removed (at least not cheaply) from his arena that he forked over 100mil for. There are sioux logo's everywhere IN marble. haha. I love it.
Well Ralph basically gave the finger to the PC wussies and whiners, and they gave up for awhile. Now it seems to have resurrected itself , with certain old North Dakota politicians trying to act dignified and edumacated by suggesting that now we should really get rid of the logo once and for all.
Puhlease. Like some old fart politician I am supposed to esteem is going to make me feel guilty about a fuggin PICTURE. Geezus people, get a life.
If you have problems with a PICTURE you have issues other than the supposed esteem problems this logo is supposedly causing you.
You need medication, and some psychiatric help.
Get.Over.It.
...and grow up.
