I was today years old when I found out why the University of Notre Dame were given the moniker “Fighting Irish.” Back in 1924, thousands of KKK were trying to intimidate Catholics in Indiana, but were met by students that led to 3 days of clashes and were chased out.
Olympic skiers are like “I have 2% body fat. I train 23 hours a day. I have had 87 surgeries” and Olympic snowboarders are like “I have smoked this many drugs today” and they hold up their hand which is in a mitten.
