The coach of a Massachusetts high school football team was fired on March 24 after the team used anti-Semitic slurs to call plays during a March 12 football game. The terms Duxbury High School reportedly used included “Auschwitz,” “rabbi” and “dreidel.” John Antonucci, Duxbury’s superintendent, said in a statement that the school has “has severed ties with Dave Maimaron as Head Football Coach.” The game scheduled for March 26 has also been indefinitely postponed. Robert Trestan, director of Anti-Defamation League New England, said in a statement to the Journal, “We welcome Duxbury Public Schools’ independent investigation into the deeply troubling allegations of antisemitism at the Duxbury Football program. Accountability and transparency are critical as the community moves forward.
