At the risk of making this issue overwrought, I will say, that as the father of 2 girls and a graduate of ND, the women that attend ND (and aspire to do so) have an equal claim to “The Fighting Irish”. No qualifiers/modifiers should be needed. #24 is no more or less one of us, The Fighting Irish, than Joe Montana. So, to the extent that Lady Irish questions that as a relic of past language, we should let that go. And I don’t suggest, for one minute, that those who use the term are purposely trying to harm anyone.
