This is a joke.
It all stems from one mans short comings...one mans inabiliities to fill the shoes of a coaching legend!!! its a far reach and it is Quite ridculous that the race card is being played. I remember a time that the argument on the other forum was dealing with the Community Homecoming Celebration and the decades old tradition of a stuffed dummy hanging in the town square with the opposing teams jersey....of which was torn down and thrown into the bonfire......The party that filed the complaint stated the event was a racially motivated event and had the tradition terminated....
just one example of a previous "race-card"......if i remember correctly...said party also fired up posts during school ours as well.....
Short's record in the same span of time was not much different then Smith's. How many coaches do you really believe can live up to Smith"s record. That does not happen every day.
The "Community Homecoming Celebration" had the appearance of a public lynching; hang a man in the town square, beat and decapitate the corpse, then throw into a fire! For all the photos of Orrville sports that were and are posted on the forum, it's ironic that none of those "homecoming celebration" photos were ever posted.
That was okay to do, but cheerleaders can't perform somersaults during basketball games because it is taunting!
The city is attempting to gain the interest of different industries and businesses to move into Orrville. Smuckers is also expanding it's facilities for relocated employees.
Forward thinking people won't appreciate such degrading behavior anymore!
