True story! My grandfather came out as a South Bend citizen with the ND students against the Klan that day. The title of this piece has very little to do with the the four players shown as you see them. Although, football player protestors were there as students only and really had nothing to do with football at that very moment. Oddly, the pool hall in South Bend that is mentioned in this piece was Ditto Hunt's Mad House where George Gipp played pool and poker. I can tell you more, just ask.
The reputation of Notre Dame and its students went up in my estimation.

That’s how they got the name fighting Irish
The 1920’s Klan also wielded guns and nooses. They were just as violent and evil as the predecessor. A very sorry chapter in our history.

Excellent opportunity too bad mouth Indiana, talk football, and to advance Irish identity, and pride.
