1. It has always insulted the contributions of the Poles, Germans and Italians who actually made ND an excellent school.
2. It reinforces and praises the negative characteristics of the Irish regarding drunkenness, and disorder and is thus socially unproductive, much the way "gangster rap" is.
3. Notre Dame's live leprechaun is the most embarrassing mascot of any school. Must we be the Amos 'n Andy of American ethnic Catholicism?
4. We should adopt something less offensive to people but that would also refer to our historic heritage. Crusaders, for example.
And a thoughtful respone:

I've had quite a few pints of the Guinness and I've changed me mind
I now think your suggestion fookin' stinks and ya' can shove it up your arse.
And I'll fight any man here who's not with me.
What the fook are YOU lookin' at?

Haha! It would be wrong to drop the name!! Although, I know you have never been a huge fan of the boxing leperchaun.
