However, I believe even ND now downplays the Fightin' Irish name and logo. Most often they just use Irish now with a cloverleaf, so this kind of political correctness isn't limited to cultures that we've systematically eradicated.

Fun fact:
Here is a picture of one of my mentors, the late, great Prof. Peter W. Flint:
When I first met Peter he still had a neckbeard. He did his PhD at the University of Notre Dame, and he would frequently joke with people that he got in on a scholarship to be the football team's mascot.
Miss you, Peter.
