That's like airing the NBA Finals preview show in August, then showing NASCAR during the NBA Finals...just doesn't make sense, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenash Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Breithaupt did not get any recognition in this area when he was inducted. Does that mean he is a victim of the good ole boy system also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here I will start it off for you. You can fill in the details of the tragedy... This HAS to be addressed...Shame on you SETXSports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never answered my question regarding Breithaupt. If Boutte is a "victim" of the good ole boy system, does it not apply identically to Breithaupt?

Interesting. If one deserving coach doesn't get a parade, "It's a CRYING SHAME", but when another deserving coach doesn't get a parade, "it would be in poor taste". I just don't feel the same emotional outrage given for both of these coaches. But seriously, both very deserving of more recognition than they received.

The BEAUMONT Enterprise has NEVER been home to Sutherland, yet anytime he has as much as a hangnail, they ALWAYS have a story on it! Besides, KFDM, KBMT, and FOX cover the entire area, right? And Kate Steinle has NOTHING to do with this subject matter. Typical Republican diversion, that my guy BlueDove usually speaks of...smh...Bottom line, it was not covered and it very well SHOULD have been. Don't you think so, stevenash? You brought race into it. Typical. Things do not change, partly at least, because everything is racist, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
