I suppose the Notre Dame people might take exception to a vampire leprechaun. I kind of like it. "Fighting Irish" seems a bit to stereotypical to me. I suppose it is better than the "Drunk Irish." But still, if making Chiefs, Indians, Braves and Red Skins into mascots is offensive, why shouldn't Fighting Irish be?
Or Vikings, or Vandals, or Raiders or Chargers?
Wait, Chargers are something you plug in Not sure why it is a mascot anyway. What does San Diego have to do with Chargers?
It's okay to appropriate animal names though. Broncos, Bengals Longhorns and Dolphins don't have rights anyway.
No one seems to give a shit about Cowboys.
Now Biting Irish, that's a mascot you can sink your teeth in (or visa versa). I wouldn't want to play night games against them. Those would be pretty high stake competitions.
Pause for lugubrious howl.
