Idaho Club, Coach Standing Up Against Racist Letter
A youth soccer coach and his club were targeted by a racist letter this weekend in Boise, Idaho. Standing up against the racism, coach Jeromy Tarkon of Boise-based Idaho Juniors FC took the letter to the police and media to bring attention to the ongoing problem.
Tarkon was personally targeted by the letter. The coach was addressed by name in the letter, which was in a plastic bag left on the windshield of his vehicle in the driveway at his home. He has given the letter (pictured and typed below) to law enforcement and filed a police report.
Sadly, it is not the first racist incident members have experienced at the club, which Tarkon estimates to be comprised of about 75 percent minority players.
