If anyone was watching the Frozen Four a few days ago it would be impossible to note the absence of the fighting hawks and the fervor of the Fighting Sioux.
Make no mistake about it, the emotion, devotion, loyalty and love was only for the Fighting Sioux.
Not one hawk jersey could be seen on national TV.
Even a few bare chested boys had painted their chest Sioux.
Why can’t our state leaders see what we all know. Outsiders claim Fighting Irish is OK, but Fighting Sioux is hostile and abusive.
Our Attorney General who now wants to be Governor settled a lawsuit with the NCAA that forced North Dakota to give up the proud tradition surrounding the Fighting Sioux name, and failed to protect North Dakotan’s at Standing Rock the right to vote on the issue.
It was wrong and needs to be righted.
We love and honor the Fighting Sioux of North Dakota.
Congratulations to the Fighting Sioux.
