In my original post I was mistaken that Syracuse's Orangemen nickname was related to native americans (as they do have a rich history in upstate NY). They actually changed their nickname to be gender neutral. I guess they always had the big juicy orange as a mascot.
I heard that the designation of "Colonel" was because it was the minimum rank to not be forgiven by the Union Army after the war. Regular soldiers and minor officers were let go, but the leaders were not. So in effect, they named the mascot in special defiance to the North.
Had they named it "Johnny Reb" instead of "Colonel Reb" I think we would be seing the same reactions from the admin.
This is rediculous. It isn't offensive unless you are a panty waste P.O.S.
So will KFC have to change the Colonel Sanders character? They were basically the same person.
I guess that it is only a matter of time until the animal right's activists demand that all mascots that resemble animals have their names removed due to the fact that it makes animals appear to be mean!
What a sad situation!
