EXACTLY. All this faux outrage, like things have really changed. C'mon, I know looking at that meme is a shock to see when you consider that the kid in it had to deal with actually seeing it, but who

I know several BC parents and they are very upset. One was talking of removing their child from the team because they didn't want them a part of this. 

Good, I  know everyone is not like that in BC. I just also know that children are much more likely to internalize the beliefs of family or close friends than just some random guy that they met spouting racial slurs. If your parents do not condone bigotry, then you are much more likely to not condone it either and vice versa,

Which is exactly why the offenders should be removed from the team. These other kids shouldn't have to bear the burden of carrying those guys on their team. Do they think this will be over after WOS is gone? Heck no! Every team that plays BC will remember the use of that word and will paint the entire team with the same brush. Nevermind that it is almost a certainty that the kids names are out in the town. It's almost unsafe to allow them onto a football field. Dubois needs to do the right thing and send a message. Dubois will either tolerate the behavior for the sake of winning football games, or he will not. If the kids play, it will be seen by many as toleration.

Probably nothing, bigotry and racism is usually learned from family or others in close proximity. Racism and bigotry are taught, which is why all kids play with one another at the playground before they are influenced by outside forces. One has to challenge the schemas the individuals hold about  to create the dissonance needed to bring about positive change.

To me it goes beyond even that....I've raised mine to be respectful of other peoples feelings. You don't call people fat, You don't judge by the cloths people wear, etc...... You don't intentionally set out to hurt someone. Basic manners go a long way. And stand up for whats right.

I agree. Many people apparently do not. I love SETX and miss Port Arthur from time to time. I would be lying however, if I told you that I didn't experience similar things and worse growing up though. We have a long way to go.

My son is 16 and just got his permit. I had him drive down Stadium and go in some neighborhoods yesterday. He was waving at people as he passed. I asked him why he was doing that...he said "just trying to be nice".  It's not that hard to be a good person.

Very unacceptable by the kids involved. I know the coach made a public apology, hope it gets handled. Casts a bad shadow on a community when things of that nature transpire.

That being said, I won't be surprised if WOS scores an ungodly amount of points and that Chain Gang D comes out laying the wood.

This is so utterly ridiculous. 

i don't even know what to say. I hope the kid that was targeted is ok... He damned sure didn't deserve that. I can't apologize for anybody but myself, but I am truly embarrassed and sorry that this happened.

I hope that everybody that is offended knows that I don't feel that way, and I think that is true for most of my BC neighbors. 

 

Good response.  All those knocks on Silsbee's discipline and personal fouls....now hit home even deeper.

My exact thoughts, probably nothing because that's how his parents feel...

Central plays Saturday, I might have to go to this game and see how many points will be scored on the Cardinals...

His father played for WOS back in the day. 

So I would assume he will receive some punishment from home, and most important the teaching of life lessons. 

If I sent that tweet out to my coworkers, I'm out of a job. Teach him this lesson now by removing him from the team before it costs him much more later in life.

You ever seen a team score a 100 in football well you might Friday Night. Those mustangs will be running on all 10 cylinders. This will get ugly quick!

I don't think so for a couple of reasons.  First, what was posted might have heightened the Mustangs' resolve, but it did not diminish the Cardinals' ability...the WO-S coaches and players know that.  Second, even if the Mustangs are in a position, Coach Thompson won't do it.  You see as angry as we are.....and make no mistake, we are angry...Coach Thompson knows that in the bigger scheme of things, Bridge City is a small fish (no offense intended to the BC folks, it is just how it is) and he will not jeopardize the bigger things by trying to spear a small fish.

Don't get me wrong, this alumnus of West Orange-Stark is angry (still) at what was said and finds no way...age or otherwise... to mitigate it.  Thus, I would love nothing more than to see the visitor part of the scoreboard at Larry Ward Stadium to resemble a pin ball machine with a ball in play.  But thankfully, WO-S has a coach who has more clarity of mind than us fans.

I look forward to this game being played so that, if for nothing else, this sorry and unfortunate situation can begin to move behind us.

Now that right there just made me spit Dr.pepper on my screen.

The bridge city head coach didn't waist any time sending his what i believe to be a sincere apology.

Hes a very good and Christian man, I expected nothing less from him hence one of the reasons 'Grad said Coach T wont run the score up. (Or wont try as the backups will make that decision)

      Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.

      I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.

      He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.

      I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success.

      Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
