Rather raise the money with a lemonade stand as to flatter that crooked devil that got his company 5 to 10 million in that small business bailout program while real hard working American Businesses  were denied that money. He is an embarrassment to Blount County and public enemy number one for a list to long to write about. A crook so crooked he couldn't carry his own county because we all know what he is. Setting on top of his mountain building him and his partners castle at our expense is what he is all about.

i think its a disgrace that main thorough fare through town is named for him!!!  need to rename it "The Maryville Dragway "

Drove by the high school after seeing Floyd The Barber this morning.  Didn't look any different to me.  

By any other name Maryville will still be the Red Rebels.  That's just who they are.  

Wrong.  A school is not it's name, even if the name is or isn't racist or offensive.  A school is the students, teachers, and parents.  If the Washington Redskins can change their name,  anybody can.  

 

How many Maryville fans will stop cheering for these young athletes because they change the name away from Rebels?

The great thing is that you are entitled to your opinion. 

Too many people in this day and time aren't happy unless they are miserable and looking for reasons to be offended. it's become a sport all to its own.

Will you stop cheering for the young athletes if the name is changed?

    • No reasonable lawyer would take up this case. I am not a lawyer, but I know school law in and out.  Similar situations just like this play out thousands of times each year across the country, even at the college level (i.e. Ole Miss)  The Plaintiff's never win...ever.  If I am wrong, please provide a legal precedent for me. I will be waiting.  https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39431892/judge-drops-ole-miss-player-lawsuit-lane-kiffin  
    • Yes Justin Cruse was named head coach
    • It used to be, I think it still is, a change of 20% +/- gives reason to reclassify. Schools can choose to play up classifications but not down. Here is the mid cycle reclassification info on TSSAA.org When Memphis East changed from a regular public school to an "all-optional" school in 2017 the would've dropped to A but chose to stay in AAA in basketball (baseball, and softball) Penny was still coaching there and with the players they had they would've beaten A teams by 40 and slept walked to the championship. Other Memphis schools stayed in their classifications (mostly in basketball) until the next reclassification cycle. Of course this is the same time that a 4th class was added basketball.
