[QUOTE="Adam Whetham, post: 2891, member: 40"] I claim no side to this issue, even though its my home town, I've never gone to the university. I could care less either way it goes. But in a weird twist. The NCAA made some rulling saying that Native American mascots were "Hostile and Abusive" and has made the local university in my area (University of North Dakota) change it in order to not have any issues in college sports and what have you. Now the local tribe is annoyed the NCAA is making them change it and is suing the NCAA. So, how does one offend someone, when the one supposedly being offended is offended someone thinks they're offended? I think this whole scenario is downright amusing. One of the Fact Sheets the local Tribe has released. [url]http://legacy.grandforksherald.com/pdfs/20111101_Lawsuit_Fact_Sheet_Final.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
