I have been reading some of the letters to the editors and C.T. Marhula from Grand Forks tells us that we can't select the Roughriders nickname because it's racist. So, let me get this straight, the nickname Roughriders are racist?
Does that mean that the Saskatchewan Roughriders also are racist, too? I am getting confused with all of this political correctness run amuck. In the era where everyone has a God-given right to not be offended, what's next? Do we take Teddy's face off of Mount Rushmore? We're going down a slippery slope here.
If for some reason, the public votes for the Roughriders nickname the school doesn't have to tie it into the former president Theodore Roosevelt.

As to the growing support for Roughriders: Really? After Teddy Roosevelt? "Nowadays, we undoubtedly ought to break up the great Indian reservations, disregard the tribal governments ... The settler and pioneer have at bottom had justice on their side; this great continent could not have been kept as nothing but a game preserve for squalid savages." Did the consultant provide these Teddy Roosevelt quotes to the committee?
