A video showed about a dozen students pointing and yelling dollar amounts at three Black students who were standing in their underwear up against a wall.
A high school football team in Northern California was forced to forfeit the remainder of its season after a video showed several players staging a reenactment of a “slave auction,” according to district officials.
The news of the video and its aftermath came ahead of River Valley’s game against Roseville Woodcreek High School last Friday. Thethat Osumi sent an email to district staff members, including those at River Valley, announcing the team’s forfeiture and saying the school district had launched an investigation into a “disgraceful” video made by River Valley players.
Osumi was not made available for an interview and did not respond to additional questions about the issue, including how many students were involved or where the video was recorded. In her statement, Osumi said though students may have thought the “skit was funny,” it was “unacceptable” and required reflection on systemic racism.
The school’s junior varsity team will continue with its season and sophomores and juniors from the varsity team can join the JV team for the rest of the season, Osumi said.Just days before the River Valley’s season was forfeited, Amador High School in Sutter Creek, also in Northern California, had its football team’s season canceled.
