High school football takes an ugly turn with racist letter

Detroit’s Cass Tech improbable 49-13 win over Catholic Central in the Division I state championship over the weekend was the first for a school in the Detroit Public League. The win, however, brought out the worst in one Catholic Central fan who sent this racist letter to the Cass Tech head coach.

You can see a copy of the letter here and we’ve transcribed it for you below.

I had the misfortune of attending Saturday’s game. As I watched I wondered how many of your players would be academically eligible if they attended a real school rather than a DPS holding tank. While graduation rates may be high, a recent study concluded only 4.4% of DPS high school graduates are academically prepared to advance to higher education.

Questions abound: Do your players attend class? Are they, even by DPS standards, eligible? As one looks at the declining enrollment freshman-senior, it is clear that DPS is a failure and in five years your players will be unemployed, in jail, addicted to drugs or worse. In a word–failures. So while Cass celebrates today, the future is bleak and you and everyone associated with DPS is a failure, hence, we have Detroit — a city about to be handed over to a financial manager.
The ghetto warriors had their Saturday but, in life, they are losers.

We were somewhat skeptical about the authenticity of the letter sent to us this morning as the emailer said that he had pulled it from his Facebook feed. But 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit received a call from the Athletic Director of Catholic Central who verified that the letter indeed was real and stated how disgusted he was with its message. He also added that the school did not know anyone by the name signed in the letter as it did not appear in their alumni database.

So, whoever you are anonymous coward, allow us to also add our disgust. You sir are the one with the “bleak future.” We weep for your children.
