Middle Township - Please stop using the word "hooliganism" or related terms in your newspaper. As a person who is proud of his Irish heritage, I find the use of this word offensive. You would not use the "n-word" to describe African Americans, even if you are quoting someone, so it is not acceptable to use a slur against the Irish. If you mean "hoodlum" or "thug," use those.
Moderator's Note:
Hooliganism is defined by Merriam-Webster as "rowdy, violent, or destructive behavior."
