Mike Davitt, Naperville, Ill., letter: 'Fighting Irish’ inspires pride, not fury or shame 
Fighting Irish connotes a fighting lineage. At times, fighting is a necessary and admirable response. The Irish are good hard-working people. Put it all together and you get The Fighting Irish, a nickname that will exist forever because we Irish understand what it stands for: integrity, honor and respect.

COLUMNIST LLOYD OMDAHL: Loss of Fighting Sioux nickname inevitable
At one time, I felt that the logo was oppressive and should be dropped as a moral matter. But the vote on the Spirit Lake reservation repudiated that view.

Judy and Garl Rieke, St. Paul, column: At last, UND and North Dakota can move on
UND students now can concentrate on their classes and have fun at sports games without worrying about whether their sports nickname is being honored in the right way. Faculty and staff can get back to the business of educating students and solving all the pressing problems that involves. Administrators can promote the good things about the university and stop wasting time putting out bush fires started by the nickname.

Don Speare, Grand Forks, column -- Fighting Sioux: No other name can compare

Paul Cline, Tucson, Ariz., letter: Kelley should lead, not manage, UND
