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'm going to agree with this. Individual drills would be fine, but a varsity baseball player should not be involved in full pad practices during the baseball season. Especially, if he is a contributing player on a playoff bound baseball team. This is irresponsible and selfish of the AD/HFC.

      If there's a specific situation that started this thread, I don't know the details.  Nor do I care.  But I do have an opinion about what I'm gathering from some of the comments. My opinion: I do believe that an AD should leave the players of a particular sport to their respective head coach during that season.  The varsity players of that sport anyway.  I believe it's a little different concerning the sub varsity players of that sport.  If an AD/HFC decides to grab some JV baseball players for some offseason football stuff during the athletics period, I don't have AS MUCH of a problem with it.  I would still consider it a common courtesy to discuss with the head coach of that particular sport to consider their thoughts on it. I also believe that ALL athletes should be lifting and running all year.  When in a particular season, I believe that the head coach of that sport should control the reigns on that topic to implement some sport specific lifting/running during their season.  But all athletes should be in the weight room year round. As far as playing multiple sports?  I'm an advocate.  I know that the popular idea is for potentially good/great players in a specific sport to "focus" on that sport.  And I agree.. but focusing on one sport doesn't mean stopping the others.  It just means prioritizing time in a way that extra work is put into that specific sport.  After hours, weekends, holidays/summer, etc..  Just because you plan on making a push into college baseball (for example) doesn't mean you can't work on baseball during other sports seasons.  That's exactly what I did.. and countless others.  Plus, it's important to maybe learn how to be a role player in a sport that you're not the best at.  Because that's coming. That's my opinion.  And I come from an era where kids played multiple sports if they knew it would be helping.  Helping their classmates.. or just contributing to school pride.  I hate knowing that there are schools that could be much more competitive if their kids would just come out.  It's hard for me to understand if I'm being honest.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      By AggiesAreWe · Posted

      I wasn't arguing the point of how an AD keeps his job. The question was "what has happened to Jasper" as in their whole athletic department. They were much much better in those other sports even when football was successful. Not anymore. Something definitely has changed.

      I just don't think it's as big an issue as what's being discussed. My opinion.
