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.

No, but I acknowledge sensitivities may change over time.

As long as Notre Dame can secure their national NBC broadcast contract they won’t join a conference. Literally no other university has that sweet of a deal.
girl not u reading an NYP headline and buying into their culture war hallucinations 🤡
But all clowns wear makeup, to BCG’s point.

Lmao. I’m judging you more for your choice of publications.

Yeah, best to do what we can to stop the spread - agreed, Op
Hey Go Irish! I didn’t see anything in the news, what’s happening?
Got it thanks for clarifying. Like others don’t really care if the mascot changes. While it might not offend me, if it offends others change it.
People need to get a boyfriend or girlfriend and go outside on a date
Notre dame doesn’t allow dating, it’s a sin.

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.
...actually, scratch that. The height of cancel culture idiocy was the stupid rock at UW.
Had to google the UW rock. Incredible
As a longtime Notre Dame hater, good riddance.

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.
Oh no! The libs™ are at it again®!
….anyway
Funny Story. My mom’s cousin was arrested in Northern Ireland in the 80s for having a Notre Dame “Fighting Irish” sweater on. He was charged with inciting a riot haha

That is offensive to all people named Bob...or all Cats...I can't remember...but I know I'm offended!!

Lolz okay. Do you know how many Irish Catholics are alums or students? If you are Irish Catholic and offended by a leprechaun mascots for the University of Notre Dame, you are not really Irish Catholic, and you certainly don’t have an appreciative for the history of Irish immigrants in the country.
Stay woke: Ireland is the puppet master because they’re tired of seeing a school repping them get embarrassed in the playoffs every year
