NFHS and KSHSAA apologize for inappropriate comments made during girls state soccer game - 1 minute read







WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Announcers with the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Network who made comments during a live stream production of a 4A girls state soccer consolation on Saturday will not be covering any Kansas postseason games in the future. It happened during the game involving McPherson vs. Rose Hill.


In a video from that match, you can hear the announcer cursing and complaining about the game.


The Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) says it “does not tolerate the degrading comments about the teams nor the inappropriate comments relative to referenced spectators.” KSHSAA went on to apologize to the students, coaches, communities and viewers.


The NFHS Network apologized for the “inappropriate comments” and went on to say the audio containing the comments was removed from the on-demand broadcast. The NFHS Network said the production affiliate has terminated its relationship with the announcer.


KSN has reached out to the announcers involved in the incident but has not heard back.
