And do you guys think I can sue Notre Dame? Because not all Irish are Fightin'.

GP- Perhaps they chould have stayed the Warriors, and been nonspecific Warriors like the California basketball team?
As far as Notre Dame, someone said to me that people that identify themselves as Irish chose the mascot and nickname. Likely not as many Native Americans were in on the decision making which makes it different.
I still snicker when I see the Pacific Lutheran "Lutes". What is the mascot going to do, pour people coffee and serve hot dish? hehehe
