The student-athletes called it quits after one player was tormented during a game and called a 'monkey.'
High-school athletes in Vermont ended their soccer season early after they were hit with racist and homophobic comments during a game last week. On Friday, Winooski schools superintendent Sean McMannonto families in the district regarding “repulsive, violent, racist, and homophobic language against” Winooski High School players in a game against Bellows Free Academy Fairfax.
The superintendent said a player and a fan of the opposing team called a student on Winooski’s team a “monkey,” and another was the focus of anti-LGBTQ+ comments. “While these comments are always upsetting to hear after the fact, they have real and devastating impacts on our student-athletes who were only trying to represent their school and the sport they love,” McMannon wrote.
