“...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!

My lovely wife has never been offended by the VIKINGS, she has Irish ancestry in her family and a couple of her great grandparents came over from Sweden. Besides her Irish temper, she got that Nordic Warrior Princess thing I gotta deal with as well ;)
