We have to have zero tolerance across the board. Its shameful some of you are here defending racist slurs used against the African American student athletes at WOS by a white man. The accusations @mat spoke of have been an issue for us. But I don't think he alluded to anything close to what you implied. At this point, you're literally beating a dead horse. Coach T has retired after recommending an African American man to replace him. AggiesAreWe and mat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggiesAreWe Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 10 hours ago, Separation Scientist said: Was McNair literally speaking of "inmates"? NO, but it didn't matter. It was immediately and forcefully deemed a racist slur. If "inmates' is a racist slur, and Chain Gang is a racist slur, then "Suspects" is absolutely a racist slur Coach T used. Randomly ask anyone on the streets what a "suspect" is, and they will tell you its someone the police thinks committed a crime. Every single time. Note even one of WOS own posters (mat) alluded to T being a closet racist. We have to have zero tolerance across the board. Its shameful some of you are here defending racist slurs used against the African American student athletes at WOS by a white man. That might be true, but not necessarily a black person that has committed a crime. Is it a racial term if a black police chief uses the word "suspect"? Still can't see how that word is racial. smh ladybug33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestyk Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Whatever, I'm about fed up with all this mess. Anyway folks are starting to warm up to "tightly linked group of players on the defensive side of the ball" defense instead of the "Chain Gang" and that is a good sign. It'll all work out. Now can somebody give me another coach's saying please. LumRaiderFan and ladybug33 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHUDDLESTON Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 If you say those are racist terms , then you must believe that inmates, suspects, etc are only black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RanchHand Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 On 3/17/2022 at 7:33 PM, Separation Scientist said: Was T called out for Racism? Why not? Maybe because he's not a racist and everybody who knows him, knows that. The "suspect" had nothing to do with kids on the team other than they were suspected of being able to play the game or not. That's what he meant and that's ALL he meant. 51 years of coaching all races and you want to make something nasty out of him saying suspect or prospect?

Bum Phillips was next-level when it came to understanding human nature and how he fit into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2wedge Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 On 3/19/2022 at 4:24 PM, Separation Scientist said: 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. Some of the WOS folks are hell bent on making sure this program is never successful again. It's a tragedy to watch.

Hagar Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 LSU I the 60’s had a cool name for their defense, Chinese Bandits. Just a catchy phrase, but it built unity and seem to aspire them to more intensity. Read some great quotes on here, but I think most of us would agree that the absolute King of Quotes is Yogi Berra. The guy was a veritable genius at using the English language. We’re all familiar with the familiar ones (lol, me being Yogi) - it ain’t over till it’s over & when you come to a fork in the road, take it, but there are some great obscure ones that aren’t as familiar - half the lies they tell about me aren’t true & I’m not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia, they can walk to school like I did. Yep, old Yogi is the King! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
