Try to stay focused.  

Not at all.  If the Redskins can change their name, a little ole high school in rural TN can too.  And we call know, Maryville fans will still cheer for the athletes even if they are not called Rebels.

Comparing a Billion dollar sports franchise and having the money to rebrand is not the same as a "little ole high school in rural TN" as you like to put it and having the funds to rebrand everything.  It's going to take well over 6 figures to rebrand Maryville High School

Way over 6 figures when you add the MJHS Rebels. Let's officially call them the "red rebels" and drop the goofy pre-game stadium rules. Atlanta makes a stand with the 'Braves".

Sorry, but you are absolutely clueless and don't unders6the difference. I know many black former Maryville football alums. Not one is in favor of changing the mascot. 

 

Stay in you lane.

yeah, lack of funds is the reason people want to keep "Heritage not hatred" going.

So now you are picking on the poor ole Mountaineers? Way to kick a team when they are down. I figure William Blount would offend before Heritage. To each his own in this day and age.

So Maryville has formed a "diversity task force" to study changing the name. Hopefully, that is just stalling to see if this nonsense goes away like it usually does. It seems like this happens every few years. Some knucklehead gets offended by a team name and pitches a fit.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
