A girls’ public high school basketball coach and one of the team’s players have been fired after antisemitic comments were allegedly made to the opposing private Jewish school team during a game last week, according to a statement from the school system and the mayor of Yonkers, New York.
The incident happened during a game on Thursday between the girls’ varsity teams from The Leffell School, a private Jewish school in Hartsdale, and Roosevelt High School Early College Studies, a public school in Yonkers.
