Racist comment caught on hot mic during broadcast of Anthony-Hawley football game
During last week’s high school football game between Anthony and Hawley, a person was caught on a hot mike during the game as saying about Anthony, “They’re not very big. I thought they’d be some pretty decent size. You know? Some chalupa-eating bastards, but they’re pretty small honestly.”
In an updated provided by Hawley ISD, they said the person was identified as a district employee but no longer works for the district. It is unclear if the person was fired.
This is a developing story and will be updated once we receive more information.
