BROOKLYN (AP) — A high school football coach in a Cleveland suburb has resigned after his team used antisemitic language to call out plays during a game.
Brooklyn High School coach Tim McFarland handed in his notice Monday, a few days after he and his players repeatedly used the word “Nazi” as a play call in a game against Beachwood High School — a school in a city that’s roughly 90% Jewish.
Several Brooklyn players also directed racial slurs at Beachwood players.
Brooklyn Schools Superintendent Ted Caleris said in a statement that McFarland “expresses his deepest regret” and the school is working with the Anti-Defamation League of Ohio going forward.
