So says Sioux

of=50,590,438.jpg Amidst all this political correctness nonsense regarding the use of Indian nicknames for college athletic teams, the University of North Dakota is about to file a lawsuit against the NCAA regarding the school's use of the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo, according to the U.S. College Hockey Organization's website.
The NCAA said that the North Dakota's nickname and logo were "hostile and abusive" to Native Americans, even though UND doesn't have a mascot. Following that decision, North Dakota's State Board of Higher Education gave UND approval to sue the NCAA.
Meanwhile, what are the Fighting Sioux supposed to do for uniforms while this suit is taking place?
