The last thing we need is dead bodies piled up in a city park.

Quoted to fix the link

Why did you point out the color of his skin? We should all just be referred to as people. No colorful adjectives needed.

Thanks

Topic has been hijacked. Name change talk is over. Just lock it up.

I saw something about voter fraud. It was one man going into nursing homes, using patients information, and never asking who they wanted to vote for. Investigators matched up the signatures to one man. Thousands of them in one county. I suppose he was just a disposable pawn controlled by local party leader. Trickle down corruption.

District games only, district champion makes playoffs. That eliminates 2 rounds. Most people been complaining about watered down playoffs anyway. So don't let a good crisis go to waste. Let's try to get it in the books before flu season. I'd rather an asstrick next to championship banner, than not crown a champion at all. It was a shame what happened to BC baseball this past season.

Interesting...

I fixed it for you. Now it works for everyone. No charge, maybe next time. Let's just say you owe me one. Sorry, I know my opinion wasn't on the requested list.

Classic divide and conquer. New age warfare. The real question is who's the enemy? I think you gave us the ANSWER in your question.

I'm just glad to talk about football. Sad that it is politcal. Even worse thats its not the virus.

Some have suggested that they didn't know of the negative origins of the phrase. Which led to the development of the new class. Thanks to @Mr. Buddy Garrity for posting the updated article on page 2. It has reactions from recent graduates and current players.

Our purple friends to the west sure are quiet. They should be next on your list to criticize.

Everything is under attack right now. Especially something with a negative history. People on both sides dont understand or accept that words and phrases can evolve. And in order for it to evolve, it should be used in a positive way. Like our chain gang has. Only once do I remember someone using it to slur our team. Now that I've read all the post, I think it was even more meaningful, intimidating, and respected than we realized. Bottom line... I'll continue to support the kids and the program at all costs. No matter what they want to be called.

My words for this cannot be posted here. U heard?

I'm not on fakebook, but I've been told that this has been a sour subject on there for years. I'm sure it will come out soon. Let's hope that there isn't more fallout over this.

I have much respect for you and your work here. But now I'm thinking I should have started the discussion. Maybe we could have had an impact on the unfortunate course events. No point in crying over spilt milk. Still wondering who came up with the new name?

This may end up like nascar. Where something was banned, but then it all around the game. Plenty of private property on newton st. I bet there will be a sign somewhere.

Thanks for the lesson on BC. Strange that I know the history of my city but not others around the area. I found that vidor was named after a lumberman. Jasper after a revolutionary war hero killed attempting to plant the American flag at the storming of Savannah in 1779. Now that's history!

What do we call the guys on the sidelines with the down markers now?

Yes we all know that history. I thought maybe they were named after "General jasper" or "colonel vidor."

Perhaps we are not enlightened enough to know the history of these 2 names.

My memory fades with time. It was before 2000. Some of my 99 classmates on here should remember more.

Now introducing the "BLUE LINK" defense. Last season, I had a conversation with an administrator of this site about this same issue. I was asked not to start the discussion then. But times are changing and we must change as well. It will take me a while to get used to saying and hearing "Blue Link". Forgive me if I revert to antiquated phrases. And I will do the same for other members, unless I feel it is used as a derogatory comment.

I understand your idea. But no, it's wrong. In a personal garage, I wouldn't doubt that some people have a noose. Or even have racists slurs inside a bathroom stall. But in a workplace it is not acceptable. For example, at my job, we use a rope to tie up bags to allow water to drain prior to shipping. At one point someone made a complaint to HR that there was a noose hanging. It didn't have 13 coils or whatever that's suppose to mean. But we were told to use a regular knot. Now I'm no boy scout or so my knots aren't always correct. But I would never refer to it as a nword knot. I know some have heard that before.
