Racially insensitive NCAA team names

Actually it is...

The Irish Brigade was an infantry brigade, consisting predominantly of Irish Americans, that served in the Union Army in the American Civil War. The designation of the first regiment in the brigade, the 69th New York Infantry, or the "Fighting 69th", continued in later wars....

Their head chaplain was Fr. William Corby, CSC, a Holy Cross priest. He became famous for his giving conditional absolution to the troops of the Irish Brigade before the Battle of Gettysburg.

That heroic brigade became known as The Fighting Irish. And their brave chaplain who rallied and accompanied them into battle went on to become the third president of a little known Midwest college called Notre Dame. East Coasters began referencing the legendary chaplain’s school as that “Fighting Irishman’s University.”

Boom. Roasted.

Wow sounds great. Maybe Dan Snyder and you should discuss your questionable historical references over lunch!

Ah yes. Any offense is trolling :rolleyes:

I suggest we go as the fighting Turks. We'll wear those stupid hats, carry curved swords, and support ISIS.

I thought you weren't too dumb to know the difference between positive and negative stereotypes. I stand corrected.

:bigcry:

The Georgia Tech Fighting Ottomans will have living room furniture as our mascot.
 
But if your thread isn't trolling then it's the definition of bigcry. Which is why I assume it's a troll thread.

Koholic attempted some humor
But the reaction is only a stupor
His ignorance showing, his offensiveness growing
Does he ever know where he's going?

every true poet knows rules are meant to be broken.

Substitute line for purists:

Should someone fetch him a tutor?

Why was their division given the number 69? More racial insensitivity.
 
How funny. Limerick jokes.

Get it? Because the thread is about Irish stereotypes and how some find them offensive.

you're coming off a little strong, we all need to laugh at ourselves too at times. Racism and bigotry aren't ended through hatred, but love and laughter.

I'm just tired of it being ok to make fun of the Irish. I took a lot of bullying growing up because of my Irish heritage and this game against the "fighting Irish" is triggering.

:lol:

I took a lot of bullying while I was a freshman at Tech for being a foreigner. Then I was told they do it out of love. Except for a couple of kids, I let it go. And those two, one I cut his brake lines in his truck and the other one I got him fired from his job at Tech bookstore.
