Yeah its kinda a leprechaun but it also fits the harrmful stereotype of a bearded Irishman who gets drunk and wants to fight. As a guy who is 1/4 Irish, I am disgusted.

Where can I sign the petition to get rid of this offensive symbol?

One of the only downfalls of White Privilege is you lose the ability to get offended.

We've talked about this before. It is offensive. ND itself had issues with it. Eire still has issues with it. The alumni won't let the university kill it.

ND is an Irish Catholic institution. It would be like Carlisle using an Indian mascot.

That trademarked symbol of the mascot has to be worth millions
