I wonder if ND is trying to get him to reclassify so he possibly doesn't decommit??

Are there any QB's that ND is in a good spot with to possibly flip for 2023?

Keeley for QB in 2023!!

Funny thing is what made me think of the connection was their shared opinion on white players sucking. I can vividly remember Koon getting a temp ban for his hot take on white WRs and corners.

This is again not true. I said it was all white teams bc it essentially is. I’m allowed to make that observation upon facts that there isn’t much diversity. Most of the middle to upper middle class suburbs of Grand Rapids are predominantly white. I also observed that I thought the talent level was low. That’s my opinion. Besides the point but if anyone thinks diversity doesn’t add to talent level, I invite you to explain such a position with data. Nowhere did I say they suck bc they’re white.

Yeah and I do not think anyone ever said it or it ever came up but I did always kinda feel the heebie jeebies about the Koon and Koonja names being like a maybe dog whistle or race thing. The poster never acted that way in the slightest so it is not a dig at the banned Koon but it did always kind of feel like a needlessly risque or provocative user handle. Anyone else ever think that?

I thought it was a reference from a show.

Well, there was that one time Koon called his gf his "squaw" but that was just politically incorrect ignorance and not done for racial purposes. The "Koon" name had nothing to do with race, it was just phonetically similar to part of his last name. There was the South Park thing too, yeah.

Koon as he is known, had an original user name of kheunja or something of the sorts then changed his username to koonja or just Koon, I can't recall which

Everything is racist, if you want it to be.

Is this really considered a bad move? Was it his way of calling himself 'Chief'? I can't say I'd use the term but I wouldn't hear it and immediately think, "that's culturally insensitive" because it has no connotation. It's simply a term for Native American wife, right? Or is it cultural appropriation to use the english word created to describe the indigenous people that were nearly wiped out on the continent? Seems like a leap, no?

Yes it is by contemporary standards. I doubt you will run across many American people who would consider it so in your day to day life but….. I’d never say it.
The English word squaw is an ethnicand sexual slur,[1][2][3][4] historically used for Indigenous North Americanwomen.[1][5] Contemporary use of the term, especially by non-Natives, is considered derogatory, misogynist, and racist.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

While the morpheme squaw (or a close variant) is found within longer words in several Eastern and Central Algonquian languages, primarily spoken in the northeastern United States and in eastern and central Canada,[8][9] these languages only make up a small minority of the Indigenous languages of North America. The word "squaw" is not used among Native American, First Nations, Inuit, or Métis peoples.[2][3][4][5] Even in Algonquian, the related morphemes used are not the English-language slur, but only a component part of longer Algonquian words that contain more than one morpheme.[8

Thanks for that. Again, I wouldn't use it but I'm curious if the term became an ethical and sexual slur recently because #reasonstohatecolonoialsim or if it was originally coined for that purpose. I hope that distinction makes sense. I can't trace the etymology just seriously curious. If you heard someone use it like Kuhn did, would you be appalled? If i heard it, I'd think "never heard that before, must be some colloquial/regional term for gal/SO/etc"

I mean at some point it entered the lexicon..... but I dont think it was colloquial. Im no etymologist though. I dont approve of it but thats me. I still got family members that use the n word regularly. I don think Koon meant it with malice or intent because I always found him to just be stupid.
