A high school football coach was fired because of postgame victory celebrations the district superintendent said involved players smashing watermelons and making ape-like sounds.

Just to be fair, the players bought the melons and said if they win they would eat as a team together.
It became a tradition.
Also, the lone black player started a petition to get the coach his job back.
Summary: More pussy PC bullshite by liberals

Lots of kids don't know the connection/stereotype. Hell, I didn't know about it (thankfully) until I was a college freshman. It just never came up and I always associated with the south in my mind.
However, this IS South Carolina and the coach ought to have known. Maybe he deserves forgiveness and maybe not (I can't judge his heart) but the school system did the right thing by acting immediately given all the watermelon racism going around lately as well as the location.

Watermelon - not for poor folks anymore
Saw some in the supermarket this summer. 8 bucks for 1/2 watermelon. WTF?

He got reinstated yesterday. He's a family friend of my womanfolk. Supposedly all the students are bringing watermelons to the game tonight.
