  1. The Trail of tears” is the story of Creeks and Cherokees being forced off their eastern U.S. lands and deported for resettlement west of the Mississippi by then-president Andrew Jackson.
    Oklahoma was designated to be “Indian Territory”, until white settlers wanted THAT land, too. When it was opened to whites for settlement a formal land rush was held for whites to enter it, and lay claims to it.
    Some whites sneaked in ahead of the official starting day to gain possession of much of the best land.
    Those people were called “Sooners,” and the University of Oklahoma celebrates those cheats and thieves by naming it’s teams “The Sooners.”
    Something to be real proud of, right?
    In this day of political correctness, the team should be renamed “The Oklahoma CHEATERS.”
