The school said after the match, the coach’s reaction to the knowledge was again before going to the handshake. According to what the coach failed to shake hands with Denver Tura coaches.

“He holds his flag and puts him around his neck,” Dion Jackson, Sports Director of Lotus School, told the station. “We saw the intention at that point.”

Emrek Bakyt, the headmaster, announced that the coach has been suspended with another assistant coach, according to the New York Post.

“It has nothing to do with Pots,” Paquet said. “This does not represent us, and we, once again, are respect and diversity. This is what we celebrate. This is what we are proud of.”

Brandon Ratner, a member of the Jewish Community Relations Council, condemned the coach’s actions in an interview with the New York Post.

“I think that every person in the Jewish society is completely aware that there is an increasing wave of anti -Semitism since October 7,” Ratiner, who spoke on behalf of Denver Tura, told the newspaper. “We saw this in schools here and all over the country on many different occasions.”

Ratner added that he believed that the “main issue” was when the coach refused to shook the hands of the Jewish coaches.

“The main issue here is when the coach refuses to participate with a Jewish coach and Jewish students just because they are Jews or they personally hold them accountable for the conflict, and not by Israel, in the middle of the road all over the world thousands and thousands of miles said” away. “

“The accountability of the Jewish people about the state’s actions to Israel is a form of textbooks from anti -Semitism.”
