Ahh Prairie shit!
From racist boulders to offensive syrup and butter, everything must be canceled. This means you, Leprechaun!
The Quality Logo Products Blog has deemed the revered mascot of Notre Dame among the most offensive college mascots in America, based on recent polling. The leprechaun came in fourth place behind Hawaii’s Vili the Warrior, San Diego State’s Aztec Warrior and Florida State’s Osceola and Renegade.
But the university wasn’t having the ridiculous categorization, and in what has now become a rarity, they did not apologize.
“It is worth noting … that there is no comparison between Notre Dame’s nickname and mascot and the Indian and warrior names (and) mascots used by other institutions such as the NFL team formerly known as the Redskins,” the school said in a statement to the Indy Star on Monday, “None of these institutions were founded or named by Native Americans who sought to highlight their heritage by using names and symbols associated with their people.”
“Our symbols stand as celebratory representations of a genuine Irish heritage at Notre Dame. A heritage that we regard with respect, loyalty and affection.”
