“One reported use of the phrase came in 1899 when Northwestern University students chanted, “Kill the fighting Irish” during a football game. At the time, anti-Catholicism and anti-immigrant sentiments were openly expressed in the United States and, since Notre Dame was largely populated by ethnic Catholics – mostly Irish, but also Germans, Italians and Poles – the University was a natural target for ethnic slurs. 

“When the Notre Dame football team gained national prominence in the first three decades of the 20th century, journalists of the day, especially New York Daily News columnist Francis Wallace, a Notre Dame alumnus, began to popularize the “fighting Irish” tag in their stories. 

“Soon, Notre Dame supporters took it up, turning what once was an epithet into an “in-your-face” expression of triumph. The University had no official nickname at the time, but as Fighting Irish, Catholics and Ramblers were variously applied to it in the press and public, Notre Dame’s president, Father Matthew Walsh (an Irishman), officially adopted Fighting Irish in 1927.”

Great read, thanks.
The fight with the KKK is noteworthy.
I'm amazed how little history people know, but have such strongly held unfounded beliefs.
Most people don't know where they came from, especially Americans.

The Irish Ehco has come out against "T" shirts appearing in and around N.Y. saying, Irish Lives Matter.  Some people just don't understand and there are always ideologues around to take advantage.

Divide and conquer is the strategy, pitty.
