Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician Can we please Man-up the Orange?


there was a time before our chancellor, nancy cantor emasculated the orangemen to its now, more politically correct nickname.  was anyone really offended that we had orangemen and orangewomen athltetes?  are there any co-ed varsity sports which would require a unisex nickname?  i can't think of any.  i'm not asking for the saltine warrior to be reinstated; some american natives have said they are offended by that mascot, and i can respect that.  but we have men's and women's rooms in the carrier dome, not "rooms".   can't we just have common sense prevail on this?  please reinstate the team names orangemen and orangewomen.

am i wrong on this?
