    Don't bother reading it ..... the summary is that no one did anything and no one wants to own it. CIAC doesn't have the cajones to implement any penalties and wants the schools to be the bad guys.

          As for the “spirit squad” and the choice of songs, Fitzgerald said they are boys soccer players who support the girls team at games. The song “Africa,” he said, has become a soccer anthem at halftime for the New England Revolution professional soccer team. “The ’80s hit pop song became a bit of a phenomenon for the club and their supporters back in the summer of 2014, just as the Revolution were about to make a long run to the MLS Cup Final,” according to the website, mlssoccer.com

            Whether or not a squad of teenage boys, very few actual soccer players, knew the meaning as it relates to soccer (which is very limited to just NE Revs) is questionable. The bigger issue was then asking a predominantly African American squad "Are you from Africa?," along with the supposed comments JN made. They just named the St Joe's football coach COY so of course they're not going to take any action. They couldn't admonish one area of StJ sports while praising another.

            Really pathetic that StJ is dragging it's feet producing the video. if they're innocent they would have handed it over weeks ago.

              As if you don't know, the song is not so much the issue as the chant the "spirit squad" added - where are you from...AFRICA

                Racist school period. If the school can’t own up and discipline their own —-Should shut it down.

                          You do know Only a white male would say a comment like that right?

                          No different than “ one of my friends is Black , there’s a black family on my block or I had a black girlfriend in HS”

                          Doesn’t mean you’re not a Racist but keep thinking that way .

                          Again “tis” a Racist school period.

                            only someone determined to find racism ,finds it in everything- thats you
                            you finding racism in a statement of simple fact, is expected. then to foment that into the poster is a closet racist ,is also expected. but all you really said there was that it is you who is a hater
                            BTW "only a white guy" is a racist statement in itself
