Irish Creed proudly presents:
"Fightin' Words"
"Fightin' Words"
a series of quotes to get the Fightin' Irish Faithful in the proper fightin' mood
as we count down the final days until the 2012 season of Notre Dame Football
"As proud Irish-American Catholics and proud sons of Our Lady, we believe that the term "Fighting Irish" has become an indication of Notre Dame's pride in and respect for her heritage, rather than a mere epithet… We believe that the "Fighting Irish" nickname is a vital part of Notre Dame's heritage. Rather than perpetuating a stereotype or slurring an ethnicity, the nickname represents the Notre Dame character of triumph against all odds. We are proud to be known as the Fighting Irish, and hope it ever remains as an emblem of Notre Dame's fighting spirit."
-Brendan J. Hanehan, Michael P. Varley, Letter to the Editor, The Observer 4/29/2006
