Of all the things people have been arguing about changing due to inherent racism, this is probably the most obviously racist. I think making UND change away from the Fighting Sioux is an overreaction. It's an obvious homage. Same with the Illinois Illini. No offense intended clearly.
The Redskins are on par with having teams called the Atlanta N*ggers, Seattle Chinks, or Miami Spics. It's completely beyond the pale (no pun intended) and has been for years.
I can't imagine being butt hurt about this, but welcome to America 2020, where the Confederate flag has become fetishized by northern Conservatives, and the god damn President is using blatant Nazi imagery in his reelection campaign. Christ.
UND tried but could not get all of the recognized Sioux bands to agree to their use of the name. I don't know about Illinois. The Illini are not a tribe, it's a term used to describe several tribes indigenous to the region. I'm not sure if they will continue.

What say you on the "Chiefs" moniker . Wouldn't it be a rank, similar to "Generals" or "Colonels?
They've used the arrowhead and tomahawk chop for far too long to pretend that its referring to something else at this point. I'd feel the same about "Warriors" if they still or even up to recently used the headdress in their logo.

The Replacements movie gave them a pretty good name: The Washington Sentinels.
Decent unis too.

They are probably going to end up with something XFL'ish like Renegades.
The only one I think will survive is Warriors, because that word has meanings beyond Native American, and they did away with NA imagery more than 50 years ago.

It was a joke poking fun at the offended white professors and politicians who decided that Indians needed to be called Native Americans. Again, the NAs I know were fine with being called American Indians. Again, I don’t really give a damn. I bought several items of UND Fighting Sioux fan gear when that great moral offense was corrected. Maybe I’ll snatch up some Redskins gear while it lasts.
You're still wrong that it was a debate among "white professors and politicians." The fact that you choose to ignore Native voices is a big part of the problem.

IDGAF either way. I rarely watch NFL beyond the 2nd half of the Super Bowl. I’m just relating my observations. The fact that you represent/teach students in a South Asian law class has nothing to do with this.
Well your observation that " this, like so many other things, is more about white people being offended on behalf of POC" is objectively wrong. But sick burn at the end there, bro.

I probably know more full-blooded Native Americans than even most Oklahomans, and I’ve never had one say they find it offensive. Several I know own Redskins and Fighting Sioux (UND) fan gear. But this, like so many other things, is more about white people being offended on behalf of POC.
I bet your pow-wows with these card-carrying Cherokee citizens are a hoot and steeped in Native tradition.

I represent Indian tribes, I teach Indian students in an Indian law class, and I have many friends in this area. Nearly all have been very vocal about changing the name. But if you're not offended, I guess that's the end of the story. It's just the whites who care, lol.

Cue the white people "I'm part Indian and it doesn't offend me, why they care so much?"

Couple of problems with that scenario,
1. Trump and everyone around Trump is incompetent and wouldn't know how to pull this off.
2. The military has made it clear they will not support Trump if he loses
3. The GOP will no longer have any use for Trump because his power will be gone. They will turn on him right quick
4. John Roberts isn't going to let his court sanction this type of shit. There would need to be some actual evidence of "chinese voter fraud" or whatever that article said for Roberts to even start considering the "emergency" as legitimate. It would be like his DACA ruling. The standard for overturning an administrative decision is really high with a ton of deference to the executive branch, but it still has to have reasons and be legal. Saying "chinese interference' isn't enough.

Also read that his buyout went from 75% to 50% of the remaining contract. So by my calculation it went from $19 mil ($5.125 x 5 years x .75) to about $8 mil ($4.125 x 4 years x .50). My guess is he wants a few good season to go out on and get past this mess then hang 'em up. He said at one point in time he didn't want to coach past 60 and this is probably something he is willing to not have to deal with anymore.

Eddie
in Basketball
Watched last night and it got seriously dusty. I was there 2000-2005. I was at the memorial service and in the student floor section at the Mizzou game, which was the loudest I ever heard that arena. It was like we knew the players personally and just wanted them to know we supported them, and the win was nice. I knew some of the basics about his earlier career but not in that level of detail. His style in the 70s and 80s was awesome. He was seriously scapegoated at Kentucky for the recruiting thing, but the alcoholism was obviously on him. I remember learning of the crash in 2006. Seriously broke my heart. I also have a different view of Sean now. They said he was fired for poor results, which is true, but I'm pretty sure he was abusing pills at the time too. I distinctly remember a game where he fainted and it was pretty scary. I think the explanation was that he was drinking 15 diet cokes a day or something. Pretty sure he was on pills then too. Overall an incredibly interesting, uplifting, and heartbreaking story. I honestly wish it was longer.

Maybe your dream school should be one that has a history of cheating on a massive scale.
Or that worship confederate war criminals and who have traditions of jizzing in mason jars. But every year they find 30 kids to sign up so there are in fact kids who want to be aggys. I don't see how those kids should be denied that because of the coach's malfeasance. If its that serious maybe they should actually punish him?

Far right nutters going apeshit if Trump loses is why I'm buying green tips right now. I hope not, but I think there's a low double-digit probability of civil disorder and mass shooter events.

No Donny. These men are cowards.

Don't know where this goes, but Oklahoma just approved by a popular vote to expand medicaid under the ACA. Gov. bullstitt had been working with doppy don to do some shit form of limited expansion using block grants. The people (just barely) told both of them to fuck off. Okies giving dotard the finger yet again. I love it.

Fuck aggy, but fuck the ncaa more. This one makes no sense.
Yeah, it's aggy, but if a player from that school has had a lifelong dream of being aggy, or would decide aggy is right for him after meeting with them for whatever reason, but now that's completely off the table? How the fuck does this one have anything to do with punishing aggy? It seems more of a punishment of players at that high school by limiting their opportunities for recruitment.
A ban on recruiting any prospects from the prospect's high school for the 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-222 academic years.

I have no visions of Biden running for a second term. He's 77 and only running now because we're Trump fucked. What I think happens is Biden picks a strong female Veep then backs her in 4 years.
Same result, and I agree that whoever he endorses will win. It will be more than 4 years to purge the party of trump toxicity (again assuming the polls are correct which I still doubt).

Alito isn’t retiring.
If he did it would be an acknowledgement that trump is likely to lose. If the polls are correct (which I doubt but assuming they are correct) the republicans will be out of the white house for at least the next 8 years and maybe more. If Alito wants to retire anytime before then, a democrat will replace him and sway the balance. Biden will likely get to replace Ginsberg and Bryer, which is important. Roberts, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh will serve more than 8 years. Thomas and Alito will be pushing 80 by then and I don't think they will step down during a democratic executive. Democrats will need to win again after Biden's 8 years for a true alteration of the current conservative balance, which was stolen from Obama.
