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 would not say NO ONE REALLY CARES WHAT HAPPENS WITH BASEBALL.. All you have to do is go to Ford Park every weekend and look at how much money parents pour into baseball.. lol I get what you are saying.. but look at it from this point of view... WINS look good on resume correct? Would a AD do better if he has all his multi-sport kids stay in his program? Again they are usually the more athletic kid. Is his actions driving away the more athletic kids to "concentrate on one sport"? Sometimes more is not better.. Kids get burned out really quick if they believe their AD/Coach does not care about their personal athletic dreams and desires.  Like I said.. a Good AD knows how to navigate this issue.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      Never understood why you can't be good at all 4 major sports. If you are talented enough, and athletic enough to be a Regional Finalist football team, then you would think you would be athletic enough to at least be competitive in basketball. If you wanted to be...... And as big a baseball town as Jasper is, where did that tradition go? Where are those kids now?

      Can't blame the AD. Texas is a Football mecca. If an AD does poorly in football, but decent in baseball, he may be looking for another job soon. If he does great in football, then no one really cares what happens with baseball, generally speaking. He's trying to keep a job and bolster his resume' for the next chance to promote his career.

      there won't be a scheduling problem... cause AD's don't allow them to play.. its a nice double standard they like to use.

      Sorry, I didn't know that. I guess they can do both, and if there is a schedule problem, the kid will have to decide.
