Swarbrick very positive on Fighting Irish nickname. by G.K.Chesterton

From a wide-ranging interview this week on many subjects. I'm just picking the last question:

Q: What’s your take on people debating the Fighting Irish nickname and whether that’s something that should endure?

JS: “What we’re stressing in the current environment with our students is: We want to talk about everything. We want to talk about any issue or any concern, especially relating to social justice and the treatment of other people.

“So it would be inconsistent with that core message not to say we welcome people’s thoughts on this. We view it very positively. We don’t view it as having a negative connotation and certainly our experiences in Ireland have tended to reinforce that view.

“But I understand some people might have a different view and I welcome them expressing those views.”
