Oranges

i've got a question. earlier this morning i was reminiscing about playing soccer when i was a kid. then i started thinking about the team meetings we would have immediately after games, when coach would gather players and parents around and separate the stars from the weak links. soon, my thoughts turned to the oranges. sliced oranges to be exact. some team mother was always responsible for bringing sliced oranges to eat after games. no oranges = riot. so, here's my question or questions rather. why oranges? did other teams do this? on any given fall saturday/sunday are millions of children eating oranges?

i don't even like oranges.
