Maybe some folks need to get off their political highhorse and talk sports in a sports forum and speak that political bs off the site period. Site name is SETXsports right?

In my own humble opinion, if a parent is not comfortable allowing their child to participate in sports, then they shouldn't allow it...same for attending school, make other arrangements. The idea of a "one size fits all" solution can't be the answer. People of all ages accept some level of risk in their everyday lives. Educate yourself on the risks and mitigations and proceed accordingly. The politicization of this virus is repulsive. If you aren't comfortable allowing your child on the field, then dont allow it...you're the parent. You make the decision to keep them safe, whatever that looks like to you. The most important aspect is that you should have the freedom to choose. Go Pirates!

It seems to be effective against teams that don’t see it very often, but in district play against teams that see it every year not so much.

Fish sticks. Man, what a typo can do. lol

What in hell did they feed you as a child? LMAO! My post about not eating the syrup was being facetious and a little sarcastic. It never crossed my mind as being racist. (I always liked Steen’s in the yellow can, anyway.) Neither did eating chicken from a southern plantation owning colonel’s place. I just thought it was chicken.

Doesn’t matter what he said, you can’t act like an animal just because someone says something you’re don’t like.

I don’t think it’s a political topic. Not for me anyway. It’s about a sporting event being cancelled due to CV-19. A cancellation that may spawn more cancellations of sporting events among other things. Actually very fitting for a site called SETXSPORTS, I think. And if we don’t get a handle on this issue, they may have to change the name of this site to “Remember SETXSPORTS?” .

Thank you! There's a Political Forum down on the bottom, go talk there

Just a thought. Maybe this entire topic is political and should have been posted in the political forum from the beginning.

No doubt in my mind the saying, “You can’t fix stupid”, originated when someone was talking about Democrats.

[Hidden Content] No excuse, but this happens every year. We can't jump to conclusions. Until the investigation is complete, we just don't know. 112%

I have to give kudos to Silsbee. Their Non-District schedule doesn’t have any powder puffs. Vidor, Jasper, Nederland and Pleasant Grove. They’ll be ready for District after that.

More of a wing-T.

Silsbee will play pleasant grove another scary slot t team the vidor game will hopefully prepare them for that very tough game.

I would owe it to my wife...my children...the people I’m responsible for and love more than my own life to do whatever I had to and through whatever means it took to come home safe to them. The dude with the shotgun would have 20 + 1 holes in him from an FN-57. Sorry, just telling the truth.

How many black people have eaten Aunt Jemima over the 150 years of its existence, and not given it a second thought about it being a racist product. Pure stupidity!!!!

Imo, if you have an even average passer, and work on it in practice, that offense can be as good as any.

This is a short script by Paul Harvey. Some may not be old enough to know who he is, but I bet you recognize his voice.

A job that I couldn’t and wouldn’t want to do. Thank God there are men and women who are willing!!! Thank you to all, especially those on this website, who protect and serve!!!

The left has already proven they would burn this country to the ground to gain power! And we know what party the left is attached too. If you don’t think the way this virus situation has been handled is a power grab then you haven’t done much research. The damage and fear this shutdown has caused is immeasurable! This country has been played like never before. Wake up people! You can bank On the left creating more chaos the closer the election gets because they know a BIG RED HUGE TSUNAMI IS COMING!!

Are you implying that some people can be white just some of the time? I’m confused.

Systemic racism - a phrase that is used every day on the news. In a condensed definition it means racism that is part of a system that is both taught, implied and repeated. By watching everything that is going on and all the angles covered by the news reporters one might think that all law enforcement suffers from this “systemic racism.” Does an entire system suffer from this, do a large majority of police officers, sheriff’s deputies, state troopers all subscribe to this? My family has a long and storied history in law enforcement. My great grandfather was killed as a Beaumont Police Officer in 1925. My dad was an officer for Beaumont PD in the 70’s during the tumultuous times after Vietnam. My uncle served on the force during the 70’s. I served for over 27 years, with the last 23 for Beaumont PD - the final 15 as a supervisor. My brother and two of my sons still serve with the Beaumont Police Department. I say all this to show that I have literally been raised in the culture of Beaumont PD. If anyone should have inside knowledge of the system aspect of systemic racism - surely I can shed some light on it. One day in the late 70’s my dad told mom that she needed to bring me to the station. I pestered the fire out of him asking what was going on and he wouldn’t budge. Mom loaded my sister and I up in the station wagon and drove us downtown. As we got out of the car at the library and walked across the street to the department I saw my dad. As a boy around ten my dad was still (and always was) my hero. There were numerous people around the front steps and tv cameras everywhere. About this time I saw one of my other heroes, and the reason dad wanted me there. As I ran toward Tony Dorsett someone yelled “Cut - who is this kid?” Tony was there in the late 70’s to film a recruiting commercial to try and attract more minorities into the department. This was over 40+ years ago and Beaumont PD was attempting to bring more diversity into the department. Systemic racism at play? When I started law enforcement in 1993, I came out of four years in the military. Every two years every officer was required to have on-going and continuing training. This is a state-wide mandate, and certain courses are required to continue working as an active officer. Every two year cycle for close to twenty years was a course in cultural sensitivity. Racism, cultural generalizations, stereotypes and a host of other racially sensitive issues were talked about and explored. Systemic racism taught at the academy? What is it that has everyone up in arms around the country? Are the police seriously racist at heart? Could it be that a nation-wide scare of plague-caliber illness, unemployment and a host of other unassociated items have been a festering keg of dynamite that was ignited by a video? Look you’ll not get me to side with the Minneapolis officer. My personal opinion is that even if he had resisted you get them up as soon as you can. If that officer lost control and it happens, a partner should have stepped in and taken control. This officer should be afforded due process. If it is proven what everyone assumes then he’ll pay the price the law mandates. There is no vast conspiracy against minorities. Let me leave you with this, I worked every day that I was on the streets in a majority minority area of town. I have experienced and been on almost every type of call imaginable. I have seen many things I’ll never be able to unsee, but I never lost my faith. I always tried to treat every call like it was my family on the other end of the phone. Have I seen bad officers with bad hearts - yes. But interestingly enough those officers didn’t seem to make it long. We are out there every day doing the best job we can. Systemic racism might exist somewhere but it doesn’t exist at BPD. This coming from a man raised in the culture and that worked his entire career for a department that is out there for you.

Like to see Newton get back for another shot.

I love how typical this site is. “Sleeping Giants” and people say Newton, silsbee, WOS. When did those guys go to sleep?

Well a young 16 year old athlete in north Mississippi collapse and died at football practice yesterday . JUST BECAUSE THEIR YOUNG ATHLETES DOESN'T MAKE THEM INVINCIBLE. Thses kids hadn't been in the heat much this year and Mississippi is hotter than texas believe me I know. You cant just throw the young men out here and start popping the whip its gonna take time. The cause of death hasn't been determined yet. My prayers go out to the family.
