Football, well that remains to be seen. Smart decision. Let the kids handle the beef away from sporting events. It will all get settled out eventually. Always does.

ST413 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 I didn't see the start but have been told by those involved and some not involved that that wasn't the case. Unless there is constant security footage I would not trust anything else. Cell phone cameras may have caught some of this but it would be after it started.
Uncle Pig Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Jasper is undoubtedly one of the biggest dumps on the planet. I mean look at the history of that dump. How on earth anyone would want to call that place home I don't know. BADSANTA 1

You get what you get: various levels of education, various levels of literacy. Hardly anyone trained as a journalist. It is what it is. Here you get quick fast information, if you can understand it. Quite often it is true information, but ya never know. If you come to message boards looking for journalism I got some swamp land on the Louisiana border I want you to look at. When I say "internet journalists" I am most definitely not talking about forums such as this. This is what it is, an internet forum in which anyone can say anything their heart desires. I'm talking about people that get paid to be journalists, there are several at ESPN, that rush to be first with unsubstantiated sources and in turn, spew false information. You're WAY off base on what I was speaking about. Kountzer 1
no-look Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Wait a minute. Jasper has The Cedar Tree. That trumps a lot of other stuff. DXTR 1
BADSANTA Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Jasper is known for being one of the most racist red neck towns in Texas. The kids that did this have to straight country dumb! Jasper stay getting bad press
WOSgrad Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Folks. I completely agree with the anger over what happened to the Tiger basketball team and those that were responsible should face the steepest penalties possible. However, that is no reason to take shots at the town of Jasper and all such insults should stop now. ST413, Silsbee92, Tigers2010 and 1 other 4

BADSANTA Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 I know it wasn't but there is a deeper root I was aiming for. I'm aware the kids that hit Michael were African American.

How can you call Jasper racist? they are AT LEAST 1/2 white/ 1/2 African American Don't live there but I bet majority of the sports teams are of a white MINORITY.

Do we call whites, European American ? Do we call Mexicans, Mexican American ? We're all American. Can't we just say, white, black, Mexican ? This political correctness bologna needs to stop.
Tigers2010 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 There is no excuse for what happened. But to pretend that Silsbee player ZERO part in it, is a little naive. Whatever the "beef" was over, it takes two people to jibber jabber with each other. The "talking crap" on social media or whatever seems to be the reason the water boiled over. When you openly exchange in the threatening and talking crap to people, you open yourself up to the unknown. You don't know what the other person will actually do. Some people do not conduct themselves like "normal" people.(Jasper aggressor). But the whole thing probably could have been avoided by not exchanging in the "beef". Let your play speak on the field/ court. When it comes to social media, "DONT HIT SEND. (Herm Edwards voice).

Coaches were there but one had already gone to the bus and the other two were scattered somewhere among 35 or so kids. He wasn't by himself but they came from behind him running past a couple players who didn't realize what was happening until it did. I think those that throw out the racist talk are remembering past events from town. Absolutely nothing to do with this. Now as far as dismissing at different times, if you are talking Jaspers team and ours I am not sure they were let out as it wasn't Jaspers team that was involved. As far as our team and the fans, our team didn't exit for at least 20 minutes but a large group still remained outside.

No there is no excuse for what happened and yes the mouthing back and forth played a part. But that is one issue and even though it may have incited someone to the point of this attack, in no way does that warrant a physical attack. That's why I placed a previous post about hoping something was learned from this. I can say I have never had a big problem of some fun trash talk during a game but it tends to go overboard these days. Tigers2010 1

However some people just don't get that. Silsbee players in no way deserved what happened. Jawing on the court is not a big issue. Once you take it outside of school and are dealing with people you do not know, you gotta be careful what you say. Some people dont have our moral code and self restraint. I'm guessing they feel like that did no wrong and they probably feel they were justified. All wrong feelings. I guess my point is be careful what you say to strangers, because you do not know what they are capable of. Winning a twitter beef isn't worth losing your season, or worse.
