checked the Facebook post and apparently...
I got gold on my left & purple on my right, black in the middle that makes me wanna fight
I say alright, alright, I’m a purple knight
I say alright, alright I’m a purple knight
N**** N****
black as coal
Get your a**
Over that goal.



"gold on my left & purple on my right, black in the middle that makes me a knight" has been a fight song for decades


Gold on my left
Purple on my right
Black in the middle
That makes me a knight
Uh, oh... St. Aug.
Uh, Oh... St. Aug.

Is the actual fight song

but a video posted on YouTube showed the St. Augustine team getting hyped for the game by repeating the following rallying call: "I got two hands. Two pads. Knock the (n-word)'s shite loose."


quote:

A second source said an assistant coach led the chant shown in the video, and that head coach Nathaniel Jones received a warning from the school that the chant was inappropriate. When the chant, or something similar, was repeated before the game Friday against Brother Martin, the school was alerted.


Apparently this happened before the Curtis game... and the coaches were told to knock it off... and it happened again before the BM game.

So, seems like we now have insubordination, which will definetly get a coach fired.

you dont think the School officials and higher ups didnt know about the chant before Friday night?
I wouldn’t be surprised if they had been doing it since before I was born. Somethings are meant to be kept in the locker room.

Actually, there are probably people who are not 100% aware of "locker room behavior".
I hate when I have to agree with you.

If “we” want to be anti PC / cancel culture, we have to be against people losing jobs over this

Nola.com is reporting that the chant included repeated use of the “N” word.

Today, to my shock and horror, I learned that black people use something that is very, very, very bad called "the N word". This is all so new and different. Now I have heard it all.

When I played we had an audible, called for the receiver on either side to shift to the others position

it was called jigger 1 and jigger 2 ( slotback shited)
Im here to tell you a lot of jiggers on the other side of the ball were upset

FYI I was asking in terms of people. What type of person is referred to as jigger. So you must have played against a lot of black and jewish mixed people.

What's crazy is that Brother Martin is probably the most truly diverse school in the city. I don't know the numbers, but Martin has always had a sizeable African American enrollment
i could see St. Aug hating on the black kids that choose BM or HC more than anybody

Wonder why after all these years all of a sudden they got called out on it.
i could have seen this happening when Crutchfield was the coach there...

but a lot of schools need to be called out for this before St. Aug. their teams just aren't as good so no one's filming their locker rooms pregame
