Well, as someone of a conservative Catholic background and Irish descent I’ve always found the stereotype of a drunken violent Irishman somewhat offensive. Is it as bad as the stereotypes against Native Americans? Probably not, but less bad doesn’t mean good. Tradition isn’t a great reason to enshrine problematic symbols. Symbols have meaning, but the meanings aren’t universal and the interpretations can change.

About time. Glad the cognitive dissonance is finally coming around to the mascots/stereotypes that have been "safe" all this time.

Maybe now people will finally realize how reductive cancel culture is.

What a pandemic of cancel culture. I know this isn’t hitting Notre Dame YET, but I’m glad you’re diligently preventing the spread of these events before they get out of hand, Op.

With these kinds of things, best to prevent them before they have a chance to mutate and get even worse, affecting those previously unaffected.
