SAN DIEGO — A governing body for high school sports in San Diego has imposed sanctions on a private Catholic high school’s football program whose players were accused of posting racist photos of a rival team from a mostly Latino public high school.

The San Diego City Conference placed Cathedral Catholic High’s football coach on a two-game suspension and placed the team on probation for two years after investigating two social media posts, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

On the day Cathedral Catholic and Lincoln High played each other in April, players and coaches at Lincoln High learned a Cathedral player for the private school shared social media posts showing someone wearing a shirt that read “Catholics vs. Convicts III.” Another post showed Cathedral players making a gang sign.

It’s ridiculous! kids will do dumb things sometimes but don’t punish a whole team for one person’s actions. Since when do we have a country that nobody is to be offended?

What’s next, “Rah rah rah - sis boom bah - kick em in the ash can rah rah rah” will be racist. Or “my team is red hot your team ain’t doodly squat”? There is no end until sanity ends it.

Catholic school kids getting in trouble. I remember those days. It took so little to send the Sisters and Brothers over the Moon, who could resist?
