He was offered by Lamar. Teams only have so many spots at so many positions. Harrison from United committed first and took that spot. Just how it works. For what it’s worth, Kasen is a better fit for the Cards and Braelon is a better for what McNeese does. Imo anyway.

smh

Not gonna happen! We’ve got our letter from the Head Pirate himself before he passed away the great Al Davis the owner of the Raiders! 😁

It seems to me that the point being made is that claims of overt racism in this country are simply hyperbole.

Question. Who is gonna be his running mate, Pat Paulsen?

I hear what you're saying... but things were different back in 79. If you guys want to help yourselves, you'd better stop standing behind a letter that was written 40+ years ago and join in with defending other institutions that are under attack from the left. You know, the same ones that wanted to tear down the cross in PN Park a few years ago. Your old letter doesn't make you any different than Evadale's Rebels, Washington's Redskins, or any other institution that is facing attacks today. JMO.

If the left keeps pushing and tearing down stuff the other side is going to push back eventually. I prefer a more pragmatic approach. I feel a possible big race war or civil war coming on. I would prefer to avoid it if possible.

The slur "Redskins" and "Indians" is as racist as using the N-word when you try to degrade African Americans. Flying the Confederate Flag is racist. Understand there is a zero % chance you get to heaven hating someone due to their skin color.

I know a high school in Massachusetts canceled a couple weeks back as well but they did that they were willing to let the seniors play elsewhere if they found a team

I believe Morehouse started that process when they cancelled theirs in June. I would wait until August to make a decision, just my opinion.

Dang! Your more Indian than Elizabeth Warren! 😁

Those serious sports forums are why this site exists and why we have paid sponsors to advertise. If it was up to me, this forum wouldn't exist here.

Well I am offended that PNG has a winning record year in and year out! You think y’all could suck every once in while! At the end of the day when it’s all said an done we’re all going to be buried in the same size hole regardless of race, religion, or politics. But I will lose my mind if we don’t have High School Football this season! Go Pirates!

I had no clue about KC. Thanks for the info.

Yeah.... I'm not sure how race made its way into this one. That's a lot of money. Guy is resetting the standard for the way the game gets played... might as well reset the standard for how the best gets paid.

Oh wow, is that what those are? I preferred the lady bending over gardening. Well until it became sexual harassment.

Grasp your Traditions??? WHAT? If we are going by tradition as being the stamp if approval, the traditionally all us southern white folk ought to be flying the Confederate flag in our yards. Traditionally we ought to have a bunch of negroes that we pay next to nothing share cropping for us. Traditionally, a black man would not even think about pulling over in Vidor to get a pack of smokes or a tank of gas. I could probably do this “traditionally” thing for a couple hours, but I think you get my point. What if another Indian nation doesn’t like y’all’s Indian tradition you got goin on over there? You gonna get more letters? You sound like someone trying to say that the confederate flag is ok cuz some black organization said so 50 years ago. Why are you hanging on to hurtful “traditional” symbols just because it fancies you and all the other non-Indian (mostly white) folks over there on refinery row? Don’t you care about anybody but yourselves? You got one of them black lawn jockeys in your yard? Bet. Traditionally speaking, you’re a racist.

Seems like the good/great programs in the area definitely not shying away from competition as far as non-district is concerned for 2020 and 2021.

They’re not called the PN-G Cherokees. They’re the Indians. Think they might need to check in with a few more tribes?

I understand. No offense taken.

Honestly, the political thing is too far out there. You may feel the letter is enough. Many Mustangs fans thought the same thing. It will happen eventually. That's why I suggest making a yearly event and another tradition to build upon for the future. Work together with Cherokee Nation, if they so choose, to move forward with a unified society. That would be a great lesson for the kids. Thats who it's really about anyway. Not the old school Alumni who cant accept change.

Here is what I was talking about: [Hidden Content]

The liberals want our country to get a new Constitution each year for their so-called "politically correct society." I think the Constitution we have now works just fine. So does the letter from The Cherokee Nation it works just fine.

Maybe because his mother is white. Really, some of these topics you guys are posting are completely ridiculous. Making this forum a complete joke.

A challenge to our representation & honoring of our mascot is a direct challenge to the Cherokee nation that made us their representatives. Oh, by the way, the official people of the Cherokee Nation live on a "Reservation", not by their own choice, but they honor their land, people, pride & traditions. Just as the PNG Nation does the same. If you have not been raised within this all encompassing atmosphere & heart that is PNG, there is no way I can express it to you, other than for you to know, that my respect for both the Cherokee Nation, that honored our school, and the students of PNG who carry on that respect for the future generations to come, fills me with a spirit that brings me peace. Change may come, if forced upon us by the government. PNG will always hold onto to the knowledge that we have done everything to uphold our assignment as Ambassadors of Goodwill. Oh, by the way "40" years ago is not so long. I was in high school when that presentation was made. Please do not trash our letter. I hope this explains how I feel, as much as I can explain it personally. Once again, unless you are raised as we were, there is no way for you to grasp the significance of our traditions. May God Bless All of The Schools, Teams & Mascots as we go into this trying time & a new school year. May we work together to see that the children are well educated, good citizens & proud of their schools, communities & traditions.

I had the same thought about the recent name change for WOS defense. But many of yall just had to show out... now its locked and cant even be discussed. Maybe this will go the same route.

First off, as a black person, you have no clue what the terms mean to Indians or "Native Americans" or "Indigenous people." Secondly, you have no idea what that flag means to white southern Americans, so you need to just shut up. My rights don't end where your opinion comes in. Just sit over there and keep dropping n-bombs on all of your boys and then get all butthurt if a whiteboy says it. The word doesn't bother you, white people do. They're won't be any hypocrites in Heaven, either. So you need to make some changes, Santa.

I don't see it mocking the Native Americans. That Indian Spirit aspired, trained, practice and made the costume. He's not just dancing around on the football field. He's honoring and portraying a brave human being. As for changing the name, I think there is nothing wrong with "The Indians". Now for "The Redskins", that's a little different.

I feel like if you don't live there, or you are not a Native American, you shouldn't be talking about it...it's not our business. And I mean Tribe level of blood for Native American, lots of us have some down the line

Is getting to where I trust hardly any news anymore.

I do, and I am a fan of his music. He's not just throwed, it's something that he needs meds for.

According to Hicks, yes.

Good topic, bad location. I'm sure there are some that are offened. I'm 1/8th native american from my great grandfather. He was sent to the Indian territory in Oklahoma. But I dont claim to be a native american. So it doesn't bother me personally. This letter they have from Cherokee nation only holds so much weight. It's a shame it has come to this. And they're in Jefferson county too.

Your the oppressor of course you would see it that way. Maybe if your land was stolen, your people locked forced into slavery, or you were treat unfair you could see it in their eyes. I'm sure your thr same guy who goes to the store and out in public with no mask.

Tu Pac was well read. J Cole graduated magna cum laude from St Johns. Instead of waiting to get a deg., many saw a big wave & jumped on it and surfed. Dell left UT to start his computer business. Same for Bill Gates. Steve Jobs, etc. Many of those types are multi millionaires or billionaires. Instead of sitting at home trying to crawl from under student loans. Education does work.

Violence only shows ignorance. I treat others how I want to be treated. Down here in the Deep South, there is no one race. Interracial families are the norm. The younger generations have excepted change. It’s us old school generations that won’t except change. I too am guilty because it was hard for me to except change. I learned that love conquers all.

It was a good video.

No worries, CNN and don lemon are on it.

Open Range, and yep, a good one.

I almost consider it good luck. If all works out maybe you see them a 2nd time in the playoffs? With a lil more luck and experience, anything can happen. Seen it couple times recently.

Yeah, I didnt get that when I first read it. Sarcasm is hard to see on here sometimes. Kanye's throwing some shade too. Just not sure who's the intended target.

Wow we just agreed... Cardinalbacker is a undercover lib paid off by soros ... 😂 jk

I kinda think that the presidency is headed towards being more of a figurehead than a chief executive. The days of an old General becoming the president are gone. There will be no more Eisenhowers, Grants, or Washingtons for that matter. Bill Clinton was the first president who’d never served in the military, and nobody elected since has, either.... unless you’re counting GWB’s stint down at the armory. Our last two presidents weren’t even experienced at all as executives in any level of government. There weren’t any governors or former governors with their name in the hat this time. Obama was a first time senator and Trump had never served anywhere. It’s just a popularity contest at this point. We should switch over to voting by phone American Idol-style and just select The Rock to the the next President. I think that’s where we’re headed anyways.

Men, if this topic has devolved into whether COVID 19 is a hoax or not, then it is time to close this topic.

Who is Yeezy?

Or one student body shoots a flare gun at another student body... “atmosphere”

If it is against the rules (and I have heard that it is against the rules at both stadiums) why don't the school administrators police it better? It seems like an easy thing to control. All they have to do is kick one person out, and the problem would be 99% solved for the rest of the students, at least for several years.

George Floyd is more of a Hero than Donald Trump
