Doesn't their mascot paint Irish as dim brawlers in the same way the Seminoles' paints Indians as warriors? Yet nobody chides ND. Why is that? Is it because the Irish aren't as easy a group to get behind? Are we that unsexy a cause for the Berkeley Crowd? We were victimized... "Irish need not apply."

I can't argue with this type of logic.
