The suburb of the high school his team was playing is roughly 90% Jewish.
BROOKLYN, Ohio — An Ohio high school football coach resigned Monday after his team used racist and antisemitic language to call out plays during a game last week.
The Brooklyn team stopped using the term in the second half of the game after Beachwood threatened to pull their players from the field, according to statement from Beachwood Schools Superintendent Robert Hardis. However, several Brooklyn players continued to direct racial slurs at Beachwood players during the game, the statement read.
Caleris also stated that Brooklyn High School has been contacted by the Anti-Defamation League of Ohio and hopes to use them as a resource going forward from the incident.
