In reply to: Is it time to drop the "Irish" nickname? posted by ndoldtown

After seeing his Duke posts yesterday on The Pit, part of me says he is. But the other part says he's dead serious.

I'm Irish and I see no problem with Fighting Irish at all. I think most other Irish people would agree. Many Irish people I know who have no affiliation with the University love wearing Notre Dame apparel out of pride for their Irish heritage. However, I have always thought it ironic that the PC police did not go after the one mascot that was actually named off of a stereotype.
