From wikipedia 

Founded1846

Named forJohn Tyler

 

If the name isnt good enough for schools? Why would be for a city, county, state?

I agree.

City is named after John Tyler. Tyler County is named after John Tyler.

BTW, what did John Tyler do that was so offensive?

Lee gone. John Tyler gone. New names coming. 

I understand Lee. 

What did John Tyler do that was racist? Only thing I remember about him was he wasn't elected (was a VP then the President died) and was a very forgettable President, didn't do much.

Change both. City could be named after Tyler Smith, Tyler Craphead. Don't matter. Don't change just one at this point. 

 

Glad it finally happened, should've happened years ago tbh. 

 

Honestly Tyler only needs 1 HS. I wish Earl Campbell had the name on it.

He was a member of the Provisional Confederate Congress from 1861 until his death in 1862.  He has been elected to the Confederate House of Representatives but died before he took office.

So the city should change it's name as well because of this?

Looks like PNG is the only one with some gonads!

Until they cut PNG's federal funding over it. Which will happen by the later half of 2021, in my estimation. 

The Department of Education under the new Biden/"black woman" ticket will move to strike funding for all schools with offensive mascots.  Also gonna steer funding from "privileged" areas to "minority areas" in the name of "social justice."  You get to do that when you scream racism and nobody challenges you.  The fact that you went unchallenged makes it accepted as truth.

And don't be offended by the "Biden/black woman" tag... he said it first.

The state of Washington has to go too. There is no end in sight. America has to be totally destroyed. BLM has NOTHING to do with George Floyd. Its about the raw hatred and destruction of our nation.

      I don't think it is overly hyped.. I am seeing less and less multi-sport kids when it can all be prevented.. A coach teaches l loyalty, work ethic, comradery, integrity, perseverance, etc.. to get kids to buy into their program. They talk about brotherhood and doing what is best for their community.... But some mean all of this  just for football... Kids see into this double standard and will quit.. either while on the field or off...  drives me crazy!!  and again... I work with these kids.. they tell me what they think.. so you can agree or disagree.. its their point of view!!

      Hmm..... I tend to disagree. I was a multi sport athlete in High School and am now a coach. Kid is not going to be a very good hitter if he only hits in the spring and summer, I took BP and threw (to keep my arm in shape) during football and basketball season. Kid is not going to be a very good QB, WR or DB if he only throws passes, runs routes or covers receivers in the fall or during a few 7 on 7 games after baseball is over. And a kid is never going to be good shooter of the basketball if he only shoots during the basketball season. Skills are honed, not mastered, they need to be developed and practiced repeatedly.

      and I'll concede that this is more realistic.  but a good AD can make football the primary focus without messing with the success of other sports.

      but they're 10-3 this year.  playoffs in basically everything except boys and girls basketball, which i mean, that's understandable.  and from what I'm hearing, the different programs feel supported over there.  which is kind of the point of the athletic director.  It's not the football director.

      Would you rather have multi-sport athletes doing drills during school that are being ran/controlled by coaches or have kids playing fall ball with little to no supervision?!?!?
