• Defiant University of North Dakota Brings Back Fighting Sioux Nickname

  February 9, 2012 at 10:01am

  The clause that states that a team can keep its name if the local tribe agrees came about after the Seminoles pitched a fit when this all came to a head in 2005. It seems the Seminoles get a piece of the pie for every FSU branded jersey, hat, etc. The NCAA caved and put in the clause.
  UND should offer the same deal to the Sioux and everybody wins.

• Supermarket Agrees to Pay Student $10K For Hitting This Half-Court Shot…After ‘Occupy’ Protest

  Imfrzn is correct. It’s difficult to judge accurately a point while moving up to it when the only true reference of that line is to the sides. Did he sight down the line (like a golfer sighting a putt) before the shot to see where the line would be if the huge UK logo wasn’t there?

  I could not watch the vid as the description was stomach turning enough. And this is how it starts…
  1. Shock! – Shock! – Shock!
  2. After a few more of these the viewer or reader gets a little desensitized.
  3. Pro -support groups are formed with the purpose of “educating” the ignorant masses.
  4. Liberated people come out of the “Family Room” to loud cheers from the press.
  5. Parades, Hollywood movies and TV shows espousing acceptance of this life style.
  6. The Family Way phrase changes meaning.
  7. In 20 to 40 years laws are passed to allow and anyone to “marry” anyone. Period.

  Sound familiar?
  BTW, I bet all the parents and school officials left the school in their Toyota or Honda SUVs with “Obama 2012” and “Protect Gaia” bumper stickers.

  It may take a few years before it happens, but it will happen. The radical Islamists are nothing if not relentless.

  In reply to frodis.

  If I remember correctly, FSU thought about dropping the Seminole name. The Seminole tribe was outraged! By agreement, they get a piece of every Seminole memorabilia sold. Check http://www.seminoles.com/
