I am not bothered by the “fighting Irish” why should they be?
“...not bothered by the “fighting Irish...”
Exactly! or Celtic warriors - My husband’s high school football team was the Gaels.
These types of team names are compliments implying superior strength and fighting abilities, etc. I never understood why Native Americans would consider teams named for them as insults and it turns out (unsurprisingly) that they actually don’t!
