Kids, man. Sometimes they take things way too far. Like when Dallas area high schools Flower Mound and Plano East squared off last Friday night in a game that featured a lot of drama, some racism, and possibly some human excrement.
Yep. Apparently, the Flower Mound student section forgot/didn’t care that this is 2015, and everything you do gets broadcasted globally. That’s especially true if you decide to throw up a “WHITE POWER” sign.

Come on, now. It’s 2015. These kids have officially cemented their legacy as “those white power guys from high school.” If that life-altering lapse in judgment wasn’t enough, Plano East’s bus also fell victim to some way over-the-line sports fandom.
There was also Twitter chatter that Flower Mound students defecated and urinated on Plano’s team bus. Neither district could confirm that damage.
Let’s hope these shit-slinging racists are brought to justice..

I don’t understand the logic behind this at all. You’re a team from an affluent area playing another team from an affluent area, what point are you trying to prove exactly?

This is America, not Europe. Get it together, kids.
If it is true, that’s messed up. Lets hope that it was just a poorly timed photo. The kid with the white poster is a couple rows back from the one with the power poster and the posters are in different font. I’m thinking he was interchanging the Jaguar (poster in his other hand) and Power. The school’s colors are blue and white – so maybe the one we cant see fully says blue? That doesn’t excuse the bus shitting though.
Good point. I’m thinking this is actually what happened. Or maybe I’m just really hoping. Blue and white certainly explains the “white” sign, and it is blue and white. Maybe they have some sort of “jaguar power” slogan? Again, I really hope so.
Maybe point guard Chaz White who threw a nice ally-oop to the only black guy on the team, Amar’e Power…
I’m truly not trying to be elitist or anything, but both of these schools are in disgusting suburbs of Dallas. So they have no reason to try to brag about white power. Get a life. Or get a house in the Park Cities…
Both of these schools are public and in disgusting suburbs of Dallas. No news here…
Back when I was in high school, there was a kid who used to dress up in costume and call himself the “White Power Ranger.” He wasn’t a fucking skinhead, he was just some high school kid having some fun. The kid with the “Power” sign doesn’t look dangerous either. And the shit slinging just sounds like a rumor. I honestly don’t see the big deal.
