EKUAlum05 Wrote:"Orangemen" has nothing to do with fruit. It was a reference to Native Americans originally and their "orange" skin tone, much like the Washington Redskins. Nowadays, it is not P.C. to refer to a group of minority people by their skin color, especially if they are Native American.That might be where it came from but if anyone has watched Syracuse play the past 20 years all they would have saw is that big orange ball they use as a mascot. There was no need to change it. This country is too friggin "PC".
