It has taken nearly four years, but finally the North Dakota Fighting Sioux are no longer. The nickname has officially been retired.
Is it just me, or is it amazing that it has taken four years to come to this decision? It says in the article above that they were "tired of the controversy." Yeah, no sh*t people. It took you four years to retire a college nickname because eight people think it offends a group of Indians. There was a group of Sioux Indians that actually wanted to keep the nickname. Now why wouldn't you listen to those people? Instead, a group of whites and blacks makes the decision to retire a nickname that doesn't apply to them in any way, shape or form.
Just another stupid waste of political time and money over an issue that maybe seven people have a strong interest in. Unreal!!
