Allegations of racial bias have surfaced in Calhoun after parents reportedly withdrew their child from a local youth recreational football team due to the coach’s race.
The incident occurred during the season for the nine- and ten-year-old age division, sparking community concern and discussion about discrimination in local sports programs.
According to Haylie Brown, whose brother-in-law coached the team this past season, the parents not only requested a refund for the registration fee but also made racist remarks about the coach.
“The rec department refused their refund and also refused to place them on a different team because they do not condone racism,” Brown said.
