How could a high school football coach think anti-Semitic play calls were appropriate? [View all]

There are hundreds of thousands of words in Merriam-Webster's hardcover dictionary, plus an infinite number of expressions like team names and admired athletes that aren't in the massive book.

Yet, with so many options at his disposal, the head football coach at Duxbury High in Massachusetts reportedly went with "Auschwitz," "Hitler" and "Holocaust" for some of his audible calls.

Auschwitz, as in the Nazi concentration and extermination camp where at least 1.1 million Jewish people were mercilessly killed during World War II. Hitler, as in the man who ordered the construction of death camps like Auschwitz. Holocaust, as in one of the worst atrocities in human history.

Of all the words available to him, these are ones that Dave Maimaron had his Duxbury players use.
