"Orangemen".... That will be the Native American's next target after the Redskins. Always gotta have an axe to grind., beats staying drunk on "fire water".

nicknames revoked. And personally, I think it is in their worse interest. For example, over the past 30 years, how many of you youngsters knew what #4 stood for or who Steve Fuller was. Had that number remianed on the shelf so to speak, I would be willing to bet that 90% of fans under 35 didn't know anything about it. But, now, after DW was given permission to wear it, to put it on display again, I would bet 90% of all Clemson fans know the history. The Native Americans, each and every time they successfully remove a nickname such as the Indians,Warriors,Braves,and what were the Illinois called....they shoot themselves in the foot. Does that make sense? They are removing things that they could use to bring positive publicity for themselves and to their plight.

Warriors from these teams names, you are removing a chance for the country to recognize Native Americans on a regular basis. I think they should revers course and use the publicity to enhance their own interest. When Spurrier stated a few years ago that he thought you should retire the "Jersey", not the number, I thought he was crazy and self serving because he wanted Sterling Sharpe's #2 for a recruit. But when I actually thought about it, it hit me that he may be right. Players continuing to wear a number keep it at the forefront. If Native Americans got behind the nicknames and embraced them, they may be able to use it to their advantage.

Syracuse used to be called the Saltine Warriors and had a similar mascot like FSU but then the PC crowd in NY didn't like that so we changed it to Orangemen....Then again the PC crowd in NY didn't like Orangemen and with a little nudge from ESPN we changed the name to orange for better branding? and keep everyone happy? I wish they kept the Saltine Warrior as mascot....

So you are saying that "Orangemen" was like "Redskins"...

....because indians in NY have orange colored skin whereas indians in other places in the US have red skin?
