Actually, some are offended


I do not agree with the offense, but there is a debate over changing the name. Never question America's ability to be offended.

"So, yes, it bothers me that the term “Fighting Irish” is used for a nickname. It bothers me that its origins are based on stereotypes, and trying to make the Catholic team seem lesser than their opponents. It bothers me that their mascot and logo are a leprechaun with his fists up like he’s John L. Sullivan."
