We played a JV game on Monday. It was against the team that Varsity played Friday and lost 21 to 15 too. Now both schools are majority African American schools. Our HC and most of our assistant coaches are white, while the other coaching staff is mostly African American.
Durring the JV game we had to move the our kids (who were running the chains) over to our side line, because the opposing coaches have absolutely no Class.... They were telling our kids that they were selling out to the white man by playing for us, they told them they were slaves and that we were thier slave masters and other things of that nature. Then after the game the JV game they walked off with out shaking hands and began cursing us and our players, saying they won Varsity and they would never shake our hands ect.... To make things worse is one of the Coaches is the 1st Sgt. of thier ROTC program (I proudly served my country for 3 years) and to me that is a complete disgrace....
It is ignorance like this that keeps society the way it is. I really wanted to say something, but as a coaching staff we wanted to set a positive example to our players. Some of our players were like why would you let them talk like that and not knock them out, we just said we are gonna handle ourselfs with class just like we expect from you....
Sad thing is I have talked to thier HC several times and I think that if he was at the JV game that would have never taken place. To me that is just classless. I really don't know how you should react to that situation.
