I have never once in my life met a person of Irish descent who is offended by the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (quite the opposite usually), and I bet the guy who wrote that piece (a 2012 ND grad, by his bio) never has either. Or Max Kellerman.

So who’s actually offended here? It’s just a clickbait story by a right wing website about something dumb a lefty talking head someone said on television. But here we are talking about it.

I'm sure those two dudes in the Miami video kicking ass aren't offended by it.

In other news, BSPN still thinks their political opinion matters and has for awhile which is one reason I hardly ever watch it. Their ratings have been dropping for years so I'm not the only one.

Stick to sports morons, you're not even that good at that these days.

Part of the reason that this leprechaun faux-outrage took off was because pissed off Cleveland Indians/pOSU fans went screaming to twitter demanding that if they had to change their logo, then ND should as well.

Haters gonna hate.

I love Kellerman and everyone else who is faux offended. I really do, because the name is never going to change. And the history of it is explicitly anti-racist towards WASPs who sought to denigrate Catholic Notre Dame fans. We wore the racism as a badge of honor and flipped it on its head... but please tell us how offended we're supposed to be.

But the best is people who don't understand that a Leprechaun is a mythical creature... what's next people being offended about unicorns appropriating rhino culture?

I love these people, because it makes me thankful that I'm not as stupid and miserable as them.

Notre Dame's mascot is a leprechaun, so they could just change from "Fighting Irish" to "Irish," and still use the standard mascot. It'd be a great middle finger to SJW's out there.

It's the "Fighting" in "Fighting Irish" that should be offensive, not the leprechaun logo itself, and yet people want to crusade for the sake of crusading, and will miss their own point because of it.

My high school changed their nickname from "Fighting Irish" to "Irish." Not because anybody's feelings were hurt, but my high school's pocketbooks were- Notre Dame charged them royalties for using that nickname that they had been using since the 40's or 50's. I liked the big middle finger and "fuck you" they gave to Notre Dame.

I'm surprised animal rights groups aren't on LSU's ass for their use of the name "Fighting Tigers". That's insensitive to assume that a tiger wishes to engage in violence!

I saw that yesterday on twitter, the unfortunate thing is the exact opposite on the offensive side

Michigan State is set up for a good year, huh? And they have Michigan and OSU at home, skip Wisconsin and swapped us for Arizona State.

Question of the day: Who will be throwing for our player's pro days?

My money would be on Book. Or does Wimbush have touch in a non-contact setting?

Zaire will probably be invited back. It has happened to other kids who transferred before. Golson most recent example

Pretty sure it can't be current player.

Tom Rees?

Current players can participate if they are going to be eligible for the following year's draft. Its a new rule that was created last year to let underclassmen be able to participate in pro days and get evaluated by scouts who could provide them feedback in hopes of having fewer guys declare early and then not get drafted. I believe it counts as one spring practice for any guys that do participate and the number that can are limited to 5 (but more can be requested), so its not like you can just run a practice in front of scouts.

so anyone think BK would give up a spring practice with BW or Book to throw to EQ on his pro day? I dont
