Yuba City high school to forfeit football game because of ‘slave auction’ video

River Valley High School is forfeiting its next varsity football game after team members were recorded participating in a “slave auction.” Yuba City Unified School District has launched an investigation into the incident to determine which students were involved, according to the Sacramento Bee. 

The California Interscholastic Federation leaves it up to the school administrations to deal with repercussions for such incidents. River Valley High School is the second school in the region to deal with problems of conduct, following a school in Amador County Unified School District, which had its football season canceled. The district is investigating a social media group chat with racial undertones involving players.
