BEACHWOOD, Ohio — The head football coach for Brooklyn City Schools is stepping down. His resignation comes days after reports of the team using antisemitic and racist language during a game at Beachwood High School Friday night.
"Our football coaching staff expressed their regret to the Beachwood football family immediately during the contest, and took corrective measures in the second half, in finishing the contest. While to the knowledge of the Brooklyn City Schools, this language was not directed to any single individual, the choice in using it at all, was utterly and absolutely wrong.”
The incident also drew criticism from Beachwood’s city and religious leaders. Mayor Justin Berns and the Beachwood City Council issued a joint statement, saying in part: “[We are] Disgusted and hurt to hear about the hateful behavior by a local high school team this weekend. We call for all those responsible for this blatant display of hate be held accountable for their actions, especially those who are supposed to be shaping the next generation.”
