Planning on attending the Fighting Sioux vs. Fighting Iris Sat night game (11/27) and wondering if any of you out there find the moniker "Fighting Irish" offensive, or as the NCAA would term it "hostile and abusive"? Thinking that perhaps a public show of objection fo use of "Fighting Irish" name would garner the attention of the NCAA and/or media? Possibly via use of signs or t-shirts that show we are offended and find it hostile and abusive. What do you think? We have some ideas for t-shirts/signa
I know some will view this as ND fans being sore losers re: our name change, however it is my belief that it should be an all or nothing approach for the NCAA. In other words, if this is truly what the NCAA's beliefs are, then NO teams should be given the privelege to use names that target specific cultures or nationalities.
Anyway, just throwing this idea out. Please let me know if you plan to attend this particular game and if you would be interested in participating in our little "grassroots movement". If you don't want to post your interest publicly, feel free to send me a personal message.
Thanks everyone!
