Man, New York really churns out the most tolerant of humans, don't they?
Game canceled due to antisemitic slurs.
Just sick, dude.
Not only did these girls have antisemitic slurs to throw at the Jewish girls, but according to reports, Roosevelt High School was playing some rough ball out there which led to a few of the Jewish girls exiting the game.
Seriously, this is what we've come to in New York?
A high school girls' basketball game ending early because a Jewish school is being bullied?
Wow, I just love it here in Joe Biden's America!
A high school girls' basketball game in Yonkers was canceled this week when players on the home team shot antisemitic slurs at their Jewish opponents, who needed security guards to escort them off the court to safety.
The girls' varsity teams from the Leffell School, a private Jewish school in Hartsdale, and Roosevelt High School, a public school in Yonkers, faced off in the non-league game Thursday evening.
"I support Hamas, you f - king Jew," a Roosevelt player snarled at a Leffell opponent, according to the New York City Public Schools Alliance, a group of parents and teachers fighting antisemitism.
Yes, a high school girls basketball game escalated into anti-Semitism. All because of a faraway war. Let that sink in.
More from the story:
From the outset, there was hostility and aggression with "substantially more jabs and comments thrown at the players on our team than what I have experienced in the past," senior player Robin Bosworth wrote in an op-ed for Leffell's student-run newspaper, the Lion's Roar.
At the end of the third quarter, her teammates were getting injured by the rough play, and "players on the opposing team started shouting ‘Free Palestine' and other antisemitic slurs and curses at us" …
"Instead of responding to hatred with more of the same, we chose to separate ourselves from the situation and leave with dignity and pride in who we are and what we believe in," she continued.
Lions head coach John Tessitore consulted with his squad and decided to end the game, according to Michael Kay, Leffell's head of school.
"Our team was playing on the road, and during the course of the game, a small number of players on the opposing team directed hurtful, antisemitic comments toward members of our team," Kay wrote in a letter to the school community.
So then they had to be escorted out of the gym by security guards.
SECURITY GUARDS!!
FOR JEWISH GIRLS TO FEEL SAFE!!
Never thought I'd see that here in America.
A word from a local representative:
At least someone in New York seems to be sane!
Speaking of sane, here's how Yonkers Public Schools responded to the incident:
"It has come to our attention that a student-athlete made a statement involving ‘free Palestine,'" the district said. "This incident was promptly addressed in line with our district's policies and values."
Yeah, that'll teach your kids not to be anti-Semites. Just a little slap on the wrist.
As the story made headlines over the weekend the school district changed their stance.
Good!
