Football season cancelled because of racial slur

What do you think?? This is getting so crazy they need to do something. Hopefully any action taken won't make things worse. I just hope they find who did this.

By cancelling the games, they are playing into the perpetrators hands, and that is just what they intended.

It's high school and there needs to be some sharp lessons delivered about what is acceptable and what is not.
I would endorse the action of the school because police action will have a much worse outcome for the students.
It's not just the current students that must be considered, but also future cohorts.
Forfeiting the games is just the dramatic beginning to a longer period of re-education and reform within the school.

I don't use the word, I don't respect the word. And I would like to tell the perpetrator this....you better damned well wish there are more than a few on your team, cuz that's the ONLY way you're going to win. And that's a fact!!!
