I never thought Chain Gang was a racial term, but WOS sure did. Chain Gangs have had inmates of every ethnicity on them, but clearly its offensive to the black community at WOS. Feeling were hurt and the term was eliminated. There is no difference here. "Suspects" is a term used for a criminal investigation, and young black males are highly incarcerated, relative to others. I have already explained that.

Still avoiding the question, 99. "Suspects" by definition means part of a criminal investigation. Its directly linked to criminals, like it or not. Young black males have an inordinately high incarceration rate. WOS is African American (58.1%), Hispanic (18.6%), White (17.8%). 84.8% receive a free or discounted lunch. Young black males compose the vast majority of the WOS football team. WOS needs to self examine why they allowed (especially) a white coach to use the racist term "Suspects" to describe WOS student athletes. T probably should have been fired for racism. Still looking for a real answer, not continuing deflections. Why are you so badly triggered by this? If Chain Gang is racist, then Suspects is racist.

WOW. That's just rich, Disney.

Your deflection fails. The word "suspects" is commonly used to identify a criminal in an investigation. You, I and everyone else knows that. "Suspects," once convicted, become "inmates", the exact word McNair used that caused the meltdown. All who live in the WOS ISD should rightfully take offense to a racially loaded term like "suspects" given the inordinately high incarceration rate of young black males. If "Chain Gang" is offensive, "suspects" certainly should be too. No way around that! No one is yet willing to answer why T gets a pass. If T was a 0.500 coach, who goes out 1st or 2nd round, would he have still got the pass? Anyone want to man up (or woman up) and give a straight answer? Why has this question triggered the otherwise vocal WOS posters so badly? T should not have called his players that racist term.

Maybe PNG can get a settlement from Disney. [Hidden Content]

Maybe PNG just ought to do halftime skit where a white presidential candidate sucker punches a black politician. Oh wait, that was already done somewhere, but in reverse, right?

There was a MELTDOWN when Bob McNair said "inmates running the asylum". The Houston media and ESPN freaked out, calling McNair a "racist". The comment T made is very nearly the same. A fair question is "Was T called out for Racism? Why not?" All you are doing is calling people names like clown and bottom feeders, stooping low. WOS posters are always vocal, so why is this fair question being avoided? Why is it triggering you and 99? Can't you just man up and answer the question straight? Why wasn't T called out for racism?

Yep, its been run into the ground 10X over. Its beyond irritating now.

You are a WOS guy, I am not. You, and other WOS people would know, I would not. Are you afraid to answer or something?

I remember back in the day TJ had some great baseball in the house. "X-man" was a pitcher I remember, and there were lots others. Seems like PA sports have pretty much cratered lately.

Was T called out for Racism? Why not?

Its a travesty what the UIL did to Katy baseball because two players helped out at a Little League practice. They kicked them out of the playoffs, and they were almost undefeated at that time, and likely to win state. Where was the mercy and understanding then? Two kids help out at a LL practice -- Whole team DQ'ed from playoffs. Kimball player shoots a woman at State, -- PLAY ON! [Hidden Content]

I know some folks from Tark. I go to Church with them, and I eat at the Ranch Hand Cafe. A few years ago they were winning, a little. I don't remember the coach or record or the exact year, but they were winning some. I see two problems. One is that the kids there just don't focus on football. Deer season is a whole different matter! Second thing is mediocre athleticism. Yeah they might have a stud or two, but not across the board. It should not be too hard to win some in their 3A district. Honestly that district is weak. Their playoff teams go down fast. But that's part of the problem too. No iron sharpening iron in 3A. I hope Tark can get it in gear, there are some good folks there.

He wasn't. That's just what people think. Presumed guilty 24/7 on ESPN, NBC, etc.

Yes, and the Keystone XL workers can put away their welding machines and "just learn how to code". Problem solved!

I agree. How do the SETX districts rank class by class?

Fair play, integrity of the game, avoiding any appearance of impropriety, avoiding altering players careers, disenfranchising fan bases, opening itself to criminal gambling influences, the list goes on. Yeah I know these are archaic concepts that NO ONE cares about anymore, but I still do. I have the audacity to believe there is still a right and wrong, even though we are talking about the National Felon League. Crazy, ain't it?

Spot on!

You totally missed his first sentence, and you apparently missed the first part of his 2nd paragraph too. Reading comprehension would pay off.

Here is his FIRST sentence: Well, rigged connotates a sort of cynicism. It's more like manipulated. Try again, 01.

Exactly right.

You should understand him, he voiced his perspective quite clearly. Manipulation is not the exact same thing as rigged. Remember that play in the NFC Championship game a few years ago, where a N.O Saints receiver was absolutely TRUCKED by a LA Ram defender before the pass arrived at crunch time? Not one, not two, not three but FOUR refs on that side of the field had the right and obligation to make that call, but not a single one did. All it would have took was ONE. Other times you will see the exact same refs flag a DB for just breathing on someone, flags will fly in from every corner of the field... The NFL wanted a west coast team from the nations 2nd largest media market in the SB that year rather than lowly N.O. Its all about rating$ for the league.

Remember what the Lib media screamed at us 1.5 years ago? 'IF TRUMP IS RELECTED HE WILL CRASH THE ECONOMY AND START WWIII !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" They missed it by one President.

If you don't know the outcome of this game, pull it up on NFHS and watch it. It was one of the best State games ever. No spoilers, PLEASE!

Mine sat in his car, engine running with A/C on, chain smoking and drinking beer. Would occasionally get out and yell something. His empties literally filled up the entire back seat area of his car, so much so that they would spill over into the front seat area sometimes, until he occasionally dumped them. I don't know how he lived as long as he did. (Disclaimer, this was NOT at BH).
