Students at a Jewish school and a Catholic school in Miami came to blows this week after a soccer game when players allegedly hurled antisemitic slurs and said, “Hitler was right.”
Antisemitism is on the rise everywhere, and it seems high school sports are no exception. Shoves and punches were exchanged between students from the Scheck Hillel Community School and Archbishop Coleman Carroll High School, leading to one injury. Video shows an initial confrontation escalating as teammates and eventually participants from the stands join in.
In the aftermath of the brawl, both schools released a joint statement condemning the incident, saying, “The Archdiocese of Miami and Scheck Hillel have zero tolerance for any kind of aggressive language and behavior, antisemitism or hate of any kind” and thanking “the faculty of both schools, who immediately managed the situation with care and concern for the students.” Both schools said they are looking into what happened and will take “appropriate action.
