High School Football Team Investigated for Using Antisemitic Language to Call Plays

A Massachusetts high school football team is being investigated for using antisemitic language during a game.

According to NBC10 Boston, the team is accused of using words like "Auschwitz" during a March 12 game to call audibles.

USA Today reports that New England's Anti-Defamation League is investigating the use of the words such as "Auschwitz," "rabbi" and "dreidel." According to Boston.com, “rabbi” referred to “right side,” and “dreidel” and “Auschwitz” were substitute terms.

In a statement to USA Today, Duxbury Public Schools superintendent John Antonucci said the school launched an investigation as soon as the allegations surfaced.
