I heard that the Einstein student told their coach who later told their Einstein athletic director who said it was too late to do anything after the fact (noting the AD wasn’t at the game). Students then parents took it to social media which triggered notice to Sherwood admin who then took action.

Hence, the delay.

There were calls, letters, etc. [/quote]

Well I heard that the Einstein students told their coach who addressed it with the Sherwood staff during the game. The Sherwood staff (AD?) then didn't do anything about it, the behavior continued in the 2nd half, and so the Einstein coach told their own AD (who was not at the game) who in turn contacted Sherwood. So I think the question stands regarding why the Sherwood athletic staff did nothing at the time. Did they not hear the comments? Did they not think the comments were crossing the line?[/quote]

This is what I heard as well, and that the Sherwood coach claims they did not hear the racist language at the time (can't say I blame them, I'd probably deny it as well at this point). Anybody at this game want to give some details? Was the issue addressed with the crowd (a warning from the ref--or whoever was in charge--that the crowd had one more change but would be ejected if anymore heckling occurred? I still think this is likely a case of adults not being sure what the procedure is (or there is no procedure).

I also think that once some language has been suspected (especially from the crowd), just send the crowd outside. What is the harm, for one game?

Maybe each team needs to supply a "sportsmanship" monitor who can pay attention to the crowd and help athletic staff out if problems like these arise?
