High school football coach fired after using racial slur in pre-game chant.
Officials at St. Augustine High School in New Orleans terminated head football coach Nathaniel Jones on Tuesday after social media video appeared to show him using the racial slur in a rowdy call-and-response style chant before a game, according to a statement.
St. Augustine High, an all-male private school with a predominantly black student body, said the video came to its attention over the weekend, but officials did not reveal who flagged it. "Not only are these actions hurtful to our community, but they also undermine the work of our founders, the Josephites, who are standard-bearers for equality and civil rights," it added.
