A youth football team in Pennsylvania was forced to suspend part of its season after reporting that a rival football team racially harassed some of its Black players during a game.

According to WPMT, racial slurs and other derogatory statements were made at a game last month between the Seven Sorrows Eagles and the Boiling Springs Bubblers.

Members of the Seven Sorrows Eagles team were reportedly targeted by their opponents.

“During our game, the derogatory words were being said to specific players of color,” said Eagles head coach Percy Maple.

The mother of one Eagles player said her son saw a Bubblers’ player push one of his teammates to the ground, then make racist remarks.
