In a letter, Bishop Kevin Vann and the schools superintendent called media coverage of recent lawsuits 'concerning and saddening.'
“The recent media frenzy about the conduct of players on the Mater Dei High School football team is both concerning and saddening, to say the least,” wrote Vann and Barisano in the letter, which was also signed by two auxiliary bishops. “We are very sorry that this or any incident led to a student being injured and do not condone any conduct that places students at risk.”
In video footage reviewed by The Times, the two students throw punches at each other as another player can be heard shouting the N-word off camera. The larger player lands two punches on the smaller player’s head, the footage shows. The smaller student covers his face with his hand before being punched in the side of the head a third time.
Vann said he was “encouraged” by Spitzer’s statement, which “concluded that no one was involved in the conflict against their will” and “confirmed the absence of evidence of hazing at Mater Dei.”
