Here’s a story from the Pittsburgh area, reported by TMZ after the Post-Gazette and other local outlets shared it earlier this week:

A group of high school students in Penn. have now been banned from attending hockey games this season after they chanted “suck our d***” and “she’s a w****” at a female goalie during a match last week.

The deplorable moments all went down when Mars Area H.S. took on Armstrong H.S. at Belmont Sports Complex near Kittanning on Thursday … when several students decided to hurl vile words at the Mars goalie.

In a video from the game, the chants can be heard loud and clear — and the footage shows they lasted for several seconds each.

The principal of Armstrong banned the entire student body from attending games for the rest of the year. Not just this group, but everybody, with additional discipline possible.

Here’s one of the videos, that shows the second chant loud and clear:

This is the Armstrong/Mars hockey game with the Armstrong students chanting “she’s a whore” at the Mars female goalie who plays on the boys team. And they chanted this repeatedly. Why didn’t one Armstrong parent/adult step in and stop it? pic.twitter.com/qWGdaGa4ZT

Good point by Mr. Dunlap. Why didn’t somebody step in? We chanted a lot of dumb things at Boyertown back in the day, but not “she’s a whore” or “suck our dick.” We would have been walloped upside the head and publicly shamed for crossing that line. Berks County justice, or something like that.The Mars coach told the PPG that the female goaltender is the only goalie on their roster: 

“We have no one else. She plays varsity and JV for us,” said Meyers, in his 14th year as coach. “We’ve had plenty of girls in this league before and never heard anything like this. With all the training we’re required to do as coaches about safe sports and sportsmanship, this should not happen. For it to fail this badly, it’s really disappointing.”

Pretty bad. Gotta get these Yinzer kids straightened out. They will go on to become Steelers and Penguins fans and further corrupt those fan bases if the bad behavior isn’t addressed.
