Looks like there are efforts underway to have Kyle Field renamed.

Give it a rest. This is not happening. It's just a leftist's wet dream.

People are so desperate to be victims, it's unreal.

If that's all they got against Kyle, their case is going absolutely nowhere.

Redskins, Indians and the Long Push to Drop Native American Mascots. Stanford dropped its mascot in 1972. Other college teams followed. Now professional sports are getting the message.

So who wants to start investigating the researchers for their history? I'm sure they are all clean and have never done anything wrong. This is stretching it to the limit.

Bryan Texas was named for the nephew of Stephen F Austin who gave him the land to start Bryan Texas.
So Bryan is related to Austin ?
Now there's cause for renaming Bryan ....what's next in the bs culture ?
NEXT YEAR IS HERE.......again

That's crazy. Should I kill myself because my skin is white-ish and likely some ancestor of mine (who I don't even know about) did something bad.

I find interest in watching Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates (PBS Ancestry show) where the people whose roots are "found" can sometimes be a little uncomfortable and/or disappointed to learn of "transgressions" of their ancestors.



The show host, Gates, is quite tactful and diplomatic about the fact that when you go back in history, you may encounter unpleasant aspects of an ancestor's life. But, those bad aspects were in the past, someone else's life. You have to have clarity of judgment.

When the 3rd deck was added to Kyle Field in the late 70s, a plaque, or some sort of memorial was to be added at the entrance on the west side, recognizing the origin of the name Kyle. There were 2 gentlemen with the name "Kyle" who had connections to the development of the field. There was a debate as to which one Kyle Field was named after. I've looked for an article on that issue, but couldn't find it. If anyone can dig it up I would appreciate knowing where it is.
.
BUT ......if we are beaten down to name it after someone else .....let's just change it to be named after the other Kyle.

There is nothing more pathetic than the neo Marxist leftist. It doesn't matter their color, they are all pathetic losers.

Old men yelling at the sky about politics on a football board seems infinitely more sad.

Nobody is renaming Kyle field for something his daddy did. You old fools need to stop taking the bait

So we have an Associate Dean, John Singer, that believes the sins of a father 11 years before a son's birth is transferred to the son. This is wrong in many ways.

I agree with your last statement.

I'm not old. I graduated 15 years ago, which makes me a millennial. But my point stands, there is nothing more pathetic than searching through history and finding something to be offended by... maybe I should be offended since I'm a descendant from the Cherokee tribe.

Nah, I'll look to the future and control what I can control. Rugged Individualism is a beautiful thing. The current aggrieved are a pathetic bunch that can't tie their own shoes, much less contribute to society in a meaningful way.

Check yourself bro.....it was Gates' house incident that started some of this bs....that was the incident where President Obama said the police acted "stupidly". Personally I think Obama acted "stupidly" on a whole lot of things.

I was unaware and will have to review/evaluate.

Caveat, it's difficult and/or impossible for me to assume the role of others in the heat of the moment; so I may not be able to legitimately understand what was reported from that event.

Don't bet on that.

In the years ahead we're going to see a lot of changes that we wouldn't believe could ever happen.
