The Haddonfield School District has agreed to apologize to West Deptford after a white baseball player made monkey noises while a Black pitcher was on the mound, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association says.
Haddonfield investigated the incident and confirmed that it occurred, Cherenson said. The district “took appropriate remedial action,” he said.
West Deptford School Superintendent Gregory Cappello declined comment, saying the matter is “bigger than we would have thought.” A source familiar with the incident said the pitcher’s family was upset because”We’re not commenting until everything is resolved,” Cappello said. Bezich has said she planned to work with the police chief to combat racist incidents like the baseball game taunting, as well as recent anti-Semitic incidents. Swastikas were spray-painted on trees in a historic Quaker graveyard and at several other locations. She was unavailable for comment Wednesday.
A sportsmanship statement by the NJSIAA must be read before every scholastic athletic event to athletes and coaches, said Cherenson, who noted it was read before the May 10 game. It states in part, “There will be no tolerance for any negative behavior, such as taunting, trash talking and verbal, written or physical conduct related to race, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or religion.” Such behavior could result in ejection from the game, the statement says.
