Like many Native American team nicknames, Fighting Irish was originally to honor a group of warriors, in this case the Fighting 69th from New York. However, seeing how much publicity (and presumably donations) is generated by these stunt protests, I've decided to start a movement to protest Notre Dame's use of patently offensive stereotypical images in their logo and licensed merchandise. Send your donations soon. (or I'll take a %5 royalty to settle).
Let's stop being so naive and stop falling for all these charlatans purporting to be ethnic spokesmen!
