It never was Fighting Warriors, or anything like that...just the Warriors. They sell shirts at one of the stores off campus that says "My son/daughter/granddaughter is a Marquette Golden Eagle..." on the front and the back says "And I'm a MARQUETTE WARRIOR." I think I'm going to get my mom one for Christmas so she can be offensive.
Also, I have a gigantic Arrowhead on the back of my shirt right now. It's huge!
Kitso, I think you need to understand further the area where I grew up. It was originally populated by Native Americans and we've kept most of their names. EX: Milwaukee, Pewaukee, Chenequa, Oconomowoc, Mukwonago, etc. My high school campus has effigy mounds all over it. Nobody attending the school has ever complained about it, to the best of my knowledge. I certainly doubt any Native American people are offended by our state championships or respect of all the effigy mounds on campus, that all our remodeling has been done around. They will buy more land and have a highway divide the school before they allow those to be destroyed...stop assuming.
