A mass brawl broke out between two private Miami high schools after a heated soccer game.
The game was between a Catholic school and a Jewish school, with the Jewish players saying they were hit with anti-Semitic slurs.
Footage of the troubling incident between the Scheck Hillel Community School and Archbishop Coleman Carroll High School in Florida shows players fighting soon after the game ended on Wednesday night, February 15.
Shocking video of the fight shows spectators also flying in from the stands to join in the clash, as the ugly scenes quickly deteriorated.
Parents of the players from the Jewish school asserted that someone said, ‘Hitler was right’ during the fight, while others claim numerous anti-Jewish slurs were hurled.
A witness to the fight told Local10 that several players were injured in the rampage, with one reportedly suffering a concussion after being kicked in the head.
The two religious schools issued a joint statement condemning the fight after the video of the incident began circulating online.
‘The Archdiocese of Miami and Scheck Hillel have zero tolerance for any kind of aggressive language and behavior, antisemitism or hate of any kind,’ the schools said.
‘We are thankful for the faculty of both schools, who immediately managed the situation with care and concern for the students.
‘The schools insisted they are investigating the accusations of antisemitism and will take ‘appropriate action’ against the perpetrators.
The chaos reportedly ensued after Scheck Hillel lost the game 2-1, which was being played for a place in the state championship semifinals.
