People bitched when UND had to change from The Fighting Sioux to the Fighting Hawks, but now everyone is mostly over it. <br />Brittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-81105084665910919622020-07-05T20:22:27.342-04:002020-07-05T20:22:27.342-04:00I'm there with you.

The same kind of stats I gave for the NFL coaches, I could come up with similar ones for baseball, especially as it pertains to LatinX people in those positions since they make up a huge chunk of the players.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-39768953073277401212020-07-04T17:20:53.654-04:002020-07-04T17:20:53.654-04:00The fact that protests are still ongoing despite n...The fact that protests are still ongoing despite no longer getting news coverage is both encouraging and infuriating. It's encouraging because it means that perhaps, just this once, it's not the flavor of the month, and with George Floyd's and Breonna Taylor's names no longer trending on Twitter that people are still set on making these changes. On the other hand, it's disheartening that the news media finds the protests no longer worth a story. Once the rioting stopped (and isn't it interesting how quickly the rioting and property destruction stopped once it was determined how much of it was being caused by the alt-right?), evidently a push for real systemic change is no longer worth talking about. <br /><br />I wonder how much the idea of these surface changes are steps in the right direction and how many are happening simply to see if that satisfies people and things can go on as they had. The cynic in me feels like that's a really legitimate way to view things.<br /><br />I think the biggest thing is to push on all fronts. Systemic change needs to be really systemic, not patches here and there.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-4344780008796334082020-07-04T15:33:17.844-04:002020-07-04T15:33:17.844-04:00I read a few days ago that we're now in the fi...I read a few days ago that we're now in the first steps in the end of America. If this is happening, I feel so ashamed. I am already upset at what people want to change yet now they want to get of the Redskins and the Cleveland Indians. If they get rid of the Atlanta Braves.... I'm going to fucking lose it. I'm glad my dad is not alive to live through this shit.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
