NEW YORK – An investigation into a brawl at the end of a Feb. 15 soccer match in Florida between a Catholic and a Jewish high school, which many ascribe to antisemitic behavior from Catholic school students, has led the Archdiocese of Miami to apologize and to commit to new Jewish-based programming in its schools.
In now-viral video from the end of the February state tournament match between Archbishop Coleman Carroll High School and the Scheck Hillel Community School, players from both teams are seen fighting near the sidelines. Both benches clear, and people jump down from the bleachers to join the fray.
Afterwards, parents of students from Scheck Hillel alleged that Archbishop Coleman Carroll students had uttered antisemitic slurs throughout the match, including “Hitler was right.” A joint statement from Scheck Hillel and Archdiocese of Miami Superintendent of Catholic Schools Jim Rigg on March 30 didn’t reveal what the investigation found, or what caused the brawl, but alluded to Archbishop Coleman Carroll students using antisemitic language and being at fault.
Rigg did not respond to a Crux request for comment on what discipline might be imposed on the students, and what the investigation found.
“There is never any cause for disrespectful behavior, and the Archdiocese regrets student actions that are antisemitic and/or otherwise demean an individual or community,” the joint statement reads. “Sincere apologies have been extended by the Archdiocese, and these apologies have been accepted.”
Accompanying the apology was a commitment from Rigg to educate Archdiocese of Miami students on the Jewish faith. Since the incident, archdiocesan officials are said to have met with individuals and organizations in South Florida to learn about the Jewish community, which led to the new programming.

Well, no one got shot.
Wishy-washy ethics and standards.
People too caught up in a game to recognize that they are still called to a way of life apart from sin.
My BS indicator is flashing.
Wow, I don’t think I have seen the word ‘brawl’ used to describe an event other than a kerfuffle at a fast food restaurant between a gaggle of female Teenz in many a year
Perhaps they should be taught that Jesus was Jewish.
Or perhaps, that the Jews called for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and declared that His blood be upon themselves and their children.
How can you be responsible for someone else’s sins? Even if all the Jews at that time supported the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, which is extremely unlikely, today’s Jews can’t be responsible for what their ancestors did. Free will and all that.

Follow your own advice.
Although I was born and raised Catholic, my school in South Florida was mostly Jewish, and so most of my lifelong friends are Jewish. I went to more Bar Mitzvahs than Communions, LOL.
So who won the brawl? And the game?
