The NCAA is railing on this again. IS it fair that they have granted exceptions to the Seminoles, Utes and a couple others but not to the UND Fighting Sioux. It should be all or none. IMHO.. Also why not go after nicknames of other "races" ie,,, Irish, Spartans, Trojans all proud people.
or even Blue Devils, that could be offensive to either satan worshipers and/or christians??

Problem is the Sioux are a nation of several tribes, not a single tribe. Some support some dont. But if individual tribes say ok, shouldnt matter, all should or none get the exception other wise it is playing favorites

And my HS was the Redskins, that shouldnt be viewed as anymore offensive than the tribe name. It is worn proudly.. (btw HS was bit by pc bug in 93,they are now the KNIghts, but at my reunion we proudly flew GFC Redskins class of '83 banners to mixed reviews
