I had to check it out awhile ago when Grichuk was traded, as I knew he would retweet all the "Grichuk > Bryant" sentiments that were going around after 2015.

That's why we have some religious holidays off of work and not others. That's why we wear blue jeans and not kilts. We just decided. so what % of people need to be offended for something to actually be considered offensive and deemed as needed to change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuy82 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Lol at the people (probably not Irish in first place) saying the Fighting Irish logo is offensive. The Irish take pride in that lol, go to Celtic Park and you'll hear pro IRA chants reigning down from the stands still to this day, especially when Rangers come across town. My parents are from Ireland and trust me, my dad is laughing at you guys. What's next you all gonna stop eating Lucky Charms now because it offensive ? I get the Indians and Braves switching up but don't bring up the Irish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has any insight on how to get those statistics it'll be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the Indians and Braves switching up but don't bring up the Irish LOL at people speaking for the entire irish population. this is the same thing as the indians, its a caricature that some could see as unflattering or offensive. if youre in favor of the braves, redskins, indians, blackhawks changing their name then theres no way you shouldnt be in favor of notre dame (among others) doing the same.

Really ? It's not remotely the same thing. Funny that a few of us from Irish decent don't care so that being said if you want to get your panties all twisted by all means have at her.

It's a false equivalence to try and say "oh well if we are going to keep the Fighting Irish it's all on the table or nothing is" to try and justify stuff that actually bothers people.

That logo isn't gonna get changed though at end of the day im of irish decent, whats your point. The majority of native americans dont find the redskins mascot offensive, however theres still outrage over it. The issue isnt what mascots will change or wont, its the idea of which ones of them should according to some. if youre strongly in favor of the indians or whoevers but not of notre dames then youre pretty clearly being hypocritical.

What # of people does there need to be to dictate change? if its only 1,000 who are offended do their thoughts and feelings not matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
