As someone of Irish ancestry, I’ve just now decided that I am outraged, yes outraged, that the University of Notre Dame calls its football team the “Fighting Irish.” I’ve seen a number of their games, and some of those players don’t even look Irish. I’m also upset about the “Boston Celtics.” In addition, I think that those of you of Scandinavian descent should express your outrage over the name “Minnesota Vikings.” When will this madness stop?

And they sure as Hell aren't fighting.
