“It is extremely disheartening to learn of this incident,” Allen Mayor Ken Fulk said. “This language and behavior are inexcusable and have no place in a supportive, welcoming community such as Allen.” Allen — a five-time state champion which plays in a $60 million stadium — is one of the state and nation’s most high-profile high school football programs. Notable alumni include eventual Heisman Trophy winner and eventual No. 1 overall pick Kyler Murray, who now plays for the Arizona Cardinals.
