1. ESPN. 2. Since when has anyone cared about the Irish? This got out of hand years ago and now it goes even further.
Offends people too.
Is ____________ racist? Yes, it is!
Fill in the blank with anything you want. Somebody, somewhere will find it racist.

As an Irishmen by heritage and a Catholic, there is nothing wrong with the fighting Irish other than they have gone many years between championships.
The offense of racism is way past its sell-by date.
Oh, for Paddy’s sake!
I would like to point out that in any Irish pub, half them are offended by whoever is in office and the other half are making a profit off them.
The older I get, the more I realize that sports and its various controversies carry no importance in life’s struggles.
I’ve always hated those fake Irish leprechaun voices you hear on radio ads around St. Patrick’s Day.
But then my family is Protestant Irish, so not considered “real” Irish, at least in the U.S.
I’m offended that Kellerman has an opinion.
“Pernicious, negative stereotypes of marginalized people that offend even some among them should be changed. It’s not that hard.” …
When was the last time someone said the Irish are marginalized? And why would the “marginalized” get special rights? Kellerman’s a lecturing fool, a result of Obama dumbing down the world.
“Many Irish-Americans are not offended, but many are. And should that also change? The answer is yes, unequivocally yes,” Kellerman said.
I defy for this non Irish moron to name one Irish person who told him he is offended by the moniker Fighting Irish. He is looking for a pool of victims where there are absolutely none. This clown needs a second job to distract him from thinking because he may be a danger to himself when he does.
They could rename the team the Hunchbacks...
“Being Irish, I guess I should resent the Notre Dame nickname, “The Fighting Irish.” After all, how long do you think nicknames like “The Bargaining Jews” or “The Murdering Italians” would last? Only the ironic Irish could be so naively honest. I get the feeling that Notre Dame came real close to naming itself “The F***in’ Drunken, Thick-skulled, Brawling, Short-dicked Irish.”” — George Carlin
