Give Me an "N"…

A local high school soccer team decided to look to Nazi Germany for some motivation before a big game. What were they thinking?

A segment of a Nazi propaganda speech was played an hour before Forestview's playoff game against Charlotte Catholic on Saturday night. School officials said Tuesday that they had determined the speech was by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, not Adolf Hitler, as was first thought. They said two soccer players had downloaded the speech off the Internet and no adult heard the speech before it aired.

In a letter of apology to Charlotte Catholic written Monday, Forestview Principal Robert Carpenter said the students were copying the team slogan, "On to victory."

Carpenter wrote that a German exchange student had taught other students to say the phrase in German. A Charlotte Catholic player who speaks German said he heard Forestview players repeating the chant before the game, which Forestview won 1-0.

So the team broadcasts Nazi propaganda over the PA system, and no one involved has been punished yet. Even more, the coach seems rather unapologetic about the whole thing. What the hell?
