I find lots of things offensive at Notre Dame, the mascot isn't one of them.

s for the most offensive, “at the top of the list is Osceola and Renegade,” the company reported: The Florida State University mascots appear at home games, riding into Doak Campbell Stadium with a burning spear before planting it into the ground. While the school says the act serves as “a tribute to the great Seminole Tribe of Florida,” many outsiders have taken issue with the act, often calling it racist. However, it’s important to remember that the Seminole Tribe of Florida has endorsed the school’s use of the name and representation.

Great! I love it. ND is so full of wokeness, let them choke down a heaping helping of cancel culture.

That will be torn down soon as “offensive” to non-Christians/Catholics.

Wouldn’t want to offend them, would we? Have to make way for all those Afghan scholars that are coming our way.

Plenty of other reasons to hate Notre Lame, the mascot is the least of them. Fake Catholic School.

Ahead of the Leprechaun are three of the usual “offensive” college mascots: two Indians and a native Hawaiian.

Though the little fellow is white and Christian, even he is unsafe from the woke crowd that’s trying to suck the enjoyment out of everything that’s fun.

What timing, as I was just reading what David wrote:

Psalm 69

7. Let not those who wait on you, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed for my sake; let not those who seek you be ashamed for my sake, O God of Israel:
8. Because for your sake I have suffered insult; shame has covered my face:
9. I have become a stranger to my brothers, and an alien to my mother's children:
10. For zeal for your house has consumed me; and the taunts of those who taunted you have fallen upon me:

” Universities “ in the U.S. are primarily indoctrination centers for socialism.

So, mascots are naturally offensive to the left.

Sorry but ever since ostensibly Catholic Notre Dame invited the vile, pro abortion Obama to give the commencement speech and conferred on him an honorary degree, the school has rotted.

I guess the International League of Leprechauns (ILL) filed a grievance.

Because they are not imaginary creatures or anything like that.

One should only go to University if one wants to become a doctor, an engineer, a scientist, or a lawyer.

I highly recommend trade work to young men out there.
Most lineman I know are pulling 125-200K depending on how much OT they work.

I would assume plumbers make that kind of money too.

Just had one at the house for what I thought was minor plumbing work and it cost me $1,000.

Bud, I am part Irish, and I WILL NOT REST until every Notre Dame game and relic is purged of these ghoulish little white men with insulting garb. I will unveil my ferocious crusade.....right after my power nap! Stand back!

The rot began long before that day. ND is sick to the core.

Linemen, electricians, plumbers, HVAC, crane operators, etc...

All make really good money, and there’s tons of work.

Millennials and Gen Z are too pussified to do men’s work.
Opportunities abound.
