    Apparently the Irish are too stupid to be offended by Notre Dame's team name and logo. Why aren't you offended on their behalf and demanding it be changed to something that doesn't upset the tender sensibilities of privileged white liberals?

            You didn't make an argument; you asked a question.

            Therefore no fallacy was committed.

                    The ignorant don't understand the difference between an ad hominem and the ad hominem fallacy.

                          An interesting angle to this, thank you for sharing.

                              It was certainly a positive at the time but it seems obstinate to ignore the changes in connotation the name has experienced over time, such as what occurred with the term "Christian".
                              "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

                                And it is silly to expect everyone to bow and scrape to every shift in popular culture just to appease the mob.
