Our own Becket Adams pointed out this afternoon that ESPN “First Take” host Max Kellerman is hating on the Leprechaun, the mascot beloved of the University of Notre Dame students, alumni, and subway alumni alike.

Most people who are ethnic Irish in America, or who have any sort of association with Notre Dame, would probably advise Kellerman (in a far less polite way) to go find something better to do with himself. But it’s not enough just to dismiss what he says out of hand, because he rationalizes it with universal principles that no one can possibly follow or honor as serious.
