High School Basketball Game Canceled Over Antisemitic Slurs

Roosevelt High School players accused of hurling antisemitic insults at The Leffell School team, prompting game cancellation.

A high school girls' basketball game in New York was canceled due to antisemitic slurs directed at players from The Leffell School, a Jewish day school.
The slurs were reportedly made by players from Roosevelt High School, a public school in Yonkers.
Leffell player Robin Bosworth reported that the game was played in a hostile environment with more jabs and comments than usual, escalating to antisemitic slurs by the end of the third quarter.
Leffell Coach John Tessitore consulted with the team before deciding to end the game.
Roosevelt High School's athletic director, Kyle Calabro, apologized and promised swift and appropriate follow-up.
