Two school districts are investigating allegations of racial slurs during a high school football game on Bainbridge Island.
The allegations came during Friday night’s homecoming game between the Bainbridge High School Spartans and the Bremerton High School Knights.Both school districts have denounced the use of slurs and launched a joint investigation.
“It’s sports,” said Marcus Bowens, Bremerton. “It’s competition. And something like that does not have anything to do with a sports game.” “Like I said, I used to coach,” said Bowens. “So, knowing how that can affect the team, and somebody may get offended by it and really take it to heart. Now that affects one of my players and now they can’t see the opponent as the opponent. Now it’s a rivalry or something else when it shouldn’t be that way.”
In a statement posted online, the Bremerton School District superintendent and high school principal said they had received information that some players were subjected to derogatory racial slurs during the game.What happened during this game is not sitting well with others in the community, either.
