Racial slurs at a high school football game in Oregon are under investigation
Milwaukie High players said Tillamook players, as well as a referee, repeatedly made racist comments. The match was stopped at halftime.
PORTLAND, Ore. The Oregon School Activity Association (OSAA) is investigating allegations of racist comments during a football game between Tillamook and Milwaukie high schools that led to players deciding not to return to the field at halftime.
KGW spoke with two Milwaukie players who said their teammates were repeatedly called the n-word during the game against Tillamook.
Javen Smith, a football player at Milwaukie High School, told KGW he heard a Tillamook player call his teammate the n-word after he was knocked down during a play.
“It hit me,” Smith said. “As a person of color, it has some influence on me.
Smith said he tried not to react and trusted his coaches to take care of the alleged racist comments.
As the game goes on, we have teammates that don't even have my skin color, being called the n-word (and) me being called the n-word, Smith recalled.
Justin Brandon, leader of the Milwaukie Football Booster Club, said after a player told coaches he was being called a racial slur. They met with the officials and Tillamook coaches in the middle of the field. But that also escalated.
The referee said the same racial slur and used the word again even when he was asked not to, Brandon said.
The Milwaukie coaching staff wrote a letter to families explaining their decision to withdraw their players from the second half of the game, saying the safety of coaches and athletes is their top priority.
Defensive player JaRez James agrees.
If we had played any more of that game, I think one of us would have gotten into a fight,” James said, “possibly gotten injured, and I don't want that for the team.
Tillamook School District responded to the allegations, saying they are investigating with the Oregon School Activity Association. The district added that if these allegations are true in any way, it would be contrary to their standards and inconsistent with their values as an organization, stating that their goal is to always provide safe spaces to student-athletes.
Brandon said racist comments are a statewide problem and hopes OSAA can hold players and staff accountable.
You have to be able to coach your players. If a referee ever uses that language, he should never referee a game in the state of Oregon again,” Brandon said.
OSAA said they cannot comment on the ongoing investigation.
