Racial Slur at Football Game

Police are investigating an anti-black racial slur written on the bench of a Harlem football team at a Staten Island game Saturday.

The Harlem Hellfighters game against the McKee- Staten Island Tech Seagulls was postponed when the graffiti was found.

The Hate Crime Task Force is investigating the incident.

The Harlem Hellfighters, which draw players from a dozen uptown high schools, starred in a documentary shown at the Tribeca Film Festival this year. The team is coached by Duke Fergerson, a former wide receiver in the NFL.
