San Diego HS Football Team Sanctioned for Racist Social Media Posts
A San Diego Catholic high school football team has been sanctioned after players posted racially charged photos aimed at a mostly-Latino rival high school.According to a report from the San Diego Union-Tribune, the San Diego City Conference place Cathedral Catholic High’s football coach on a two-game suspension and placed the team on probation for two years for the posts made on social media.

The first post was a reference to the controversial slogan used to hype up the 1980s matchups between Notre Dame and the University of Miami football, which culminated in a 2016 ESPN documentary, “Catholics vs. Convicts.”
According to a report on CruxNow.com, The San Diego City Conference has ordered the Cathedral Catholic to implement a restorative education system. Shortly after the game, Cathedral Catholic issued an apology for the social media photos but declined to say whether the students who wore the T-shirts had been suspended.
