UND’s Fighting Sioux Nickname May Stay Despite Conflict: MyFoxTWINCITIES.com
Well lets not let facts get in the way of a good argument. Check out these comments from Fighting Sioux logo opponent Mike Forcia.Other opponents -- including Native American groups -- say the logo is also racist and demeaning.Never once have I seen anyone wear a war bonnet or war paint, since I have been in Grand Forks, ND (1993). This statement absolutely incorrect and fallacious this doesn't happen at UND and I dare him to actually back up his facts. Nothing like making up your own facts to forward your argument.
