The most recent incident occurred at a high school game in Tennessee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During their May 22nd soccer match, Martin Luther King Magnet High School officials complained that fans from Page High School hurled racist and anti-Semitic jeers and slurs at their players. They sent the complaint to the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The letter was signed by Marquis Churchwell, MLK&#8217;s assistant principal and athletic director. It detailed the abuse heard by parents and coaches who were in attendance at that state championship tournament qualifying match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;There were at least five MLK students that were personally targeted by the Page fans,&#8221; wrote Churchwell in the complaint. &#8220;This unruly and disgraceful act created a hostile and unsafe athletic environment for our students and spectators.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It appears that this has happened before. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennessean.com\/story\/news\/2021\/05\/26\/mlk-magnet-files-complaint-page-high-fans-use-racial-slurs\/7440675002\/\">The TSSAA told the Tennessean<\/a> these types of complaints are &#8220;not common at all.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the complaint, the venom included taunts like &#8220;Did they get their VISAs?&#8221;, &#8220;Go back to your own country&#8221; and anti-Semitic jeers aimed at Jewish players. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The TSSAA is investigating the incident. Their Assistant Executive Director, Matthew Gillespie, stated that they have contacted Page High School about the ugly event.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We will continue to communicate with them until we come to a conclusion regarding the situation,&#8221; wrote Gillespie in an email to The Tennessean.<\/p><div id=\"first-97323992\" class=\"first-content first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream2 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For parents of MLK student-athletes, talk is one thing, but they want action. Specifically against the fans from Page who participated in the jeering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> &#8220;I just think it was so extreme that [Page] should issue a public apology to these boys who ended their season in a way that is really sad, unfortunate and uncalled for,&#8221; said MLK parent Tiffany Israel said. &#8220;I just think, as parents, we need to stand up for our boys.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to MLK coach James Campbell, Page&#8217;s soccer coach, Nathan Clapp, &#8220;admonished his fans vehemently&#8221; for their actions. Page&#8217;s administration also issued an apology for the incident and pledged to cooperate with the TSSAA in the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We do not want to penalize the team; however, a school&#8217;s fans should be held accountable,&#8221; wrote parents in a statement included in MLK&#8217;s complaint. &#8220;We need to know that the school and the district will not tolerate this behavior from its fans and that our players will be protected in the future.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"first-3976664889\" class=\"first-content_2 first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream3 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the aftermath, Page won 2-0 and moved on to the state tournament. MLK&#8217;s season ended and the pain of the loss was exacerbated by the sting of racism and anti-Semitism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No word as of yet about whether any punishment will be levied against Page or its fans. But it&#8217;s clear that soccer remains plagued by ignorance and racism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soccer and racism just can&#8217;t seem to be separated no matter the country or level of play.
