A local New York NAACP chapter determined there was "absolutely no evidence" that antisemitic slurs were hurdled at a Jewish day school during a basketball game against another public high school.

A high school girls game between the Leffell School, a private Jewish school in Hartsdale, New York, and Roosevelt High School, a public school in Yonkers, ended early on Jan. 4 after Roosevelt players were accused of hurling antisemitic slurs at their opponents. Some of those slurs allegedly included, "I support Hamas, you f---ing Jew."

Frank Coleman, the president of the Yonkers NAACP and a substitute teacher at Roosevelt High School, said there was a "rush to judgment" over the allegations, according to the Journal News.

"We have concluded that there was absolutely no evidence of any antisemitic slurs rendered," Coleman said, via the Journal News.

Coleman’s report added that the accusations were "untrue and unfair" and that the two teams "simply played basketball."

Leffell’s head of school, Michael Kay, revealed a twist in the investigation to the Journal News. He said the Yonkers NAACP didn’t contact the players, coaches or administrators during its investigation.

"As educators, we strongly share the stated desire to bring communities together for moments of genuine learning," Kay told the outlet. "As educators, we strongly share the stated desire to bring communities together for moments of genuine learning."
