  1. if you're going to personally insult me, uknowit, at least learn how to spell first.

    all will be settled the first week of district.

    p.s. weasel (learn it; memorize it if you have to; you'll come across as much more intelligent)

    I see, you're from Buna, the 'New Sheriff in Town'.

    Now I understand why you're so bitter. It's the annual loss to EC.

    OK, so your a spelling Nazi too, little WEASEL.

    Next time I'll make time to run spell check.

  3. I guess the point is it doesn't matter what you or I think when it comes to deciding what other races or religions think is insulting to their heritage. Native Americans have spoken loud and clear as it relates to this subject. Kids dressing up in faux costumes and jumping around in some sort of 'war' dance isn't the way they want their culture represented.

    How could 'Redskins' somehow honor the Native American heritage?

    The word 'Indian' is an insult in itself. Some lost European dude washes up on an island and thinks he's in Asia, India to be exact. The people there must be Indians. If we were to follow through and correct that mistake we would solve this issue at last. We would have the Mighty PNG Americans.

    I would be more than happy to respond to any reasonable counter-argument. But I will not reply to the weasels who's only retort is an insult.

  4. Let's play NAME THAT TEAM! Green and gold noise-talkin backers beware:  The answer may shock you...

    (03/04) lost to San Augustine in 1st round.

    (04/05) lost to Mart in 1st round.

    (05/06) lost to Mart in 2nd round.

    (06/07) lost to Mart in 2nd round.

    Couldn't close out the district

    lost their best player (well, team)

    AND lost to Kountze (a now heavy favorite for the district crown)

    The skies are darkening in Chambers County, and this time, it's not Hurricane Rita. The Bucs oughta watch their "booty." The era of green and gold dominance has come to an end. LARRY THE PIRATE HAS SPOKEN.

    lost their best player....lol thats so funny.

    I see EC lost in the 1st round last year. How did Kountze do?

    Out of the hundreds of schools that play high school football in Texas, there might be one that has a worse football tradition than Kountze. But none come to mind.

  5. Will Happen. The ball is already rolling, so to speak. They're a lot of good mascots out the that don't degrade other people's culture and history. You'll just have to get over it.  I don't think the kids could care less anyway. They just want to play. It's the middle aged has-beens that cling to the glory days of their youth who think this change will be the end of the world as we all know it.

  6. That letter (if there is really one) and $5 will get you a cappuccino at Starbucks. Hope that's the district's defense for the right to continued to use of a racist symbol when the UIL comes down on them.

    I here by set the over and under at 3 years. The UIL is already looking at the use of mascots that degrade the native American culture and I can see the directive coming down the pipe by next year.

    Peace

  7. Florida State has permission from the NCAA to retain "Seminoles" on a temporary basis. They have the endorsement of the Seminole tribal authorities, so have been treated differently than the other NCAA schools that were required to change immediately. That to will change in short order because not all Seminoles are represented by this authority.

    As for PNG, they'll do what they are told to by the UIL and / or courts. I just don't see 'rioting in the streets' over the hope of keeping a symbol insulting native Americans. A pimple faced white kid jumping around doing some sort of faux 'war dance' wearing purple feathers (from a purple bird I guess) is not they way native American culture should be represented.

  8. I wonder why 'INDIANS" was painted in the end zones. They're going to need a big ol' eraser when the UIL outlaws the use of native american symbols. It's just a matter of time. All it's going to take is one lawsuit by one person who feels offended and the PNG Indians will be no more.
