TRANSCRIPT:
I am trying something a bit different today with the DNB, I wonder if anyone will notice! How’s that for a mystery! Anyhow, we have news so, let’s get into it, shall we ?
Severna Park High School is investigating a culturally insensitive chant during a basketball game against Arundel High School. Principal Lindsay Abruzzo issued apologies, emphasizing community involvement. The offensive chant targeted Black players, leading to consequences for nine students under the school’s Code of Conduct. Abruzzo declared a zero-tolerance policy, warning of immediate game stoppages and student removal for recurring behavior. The investigation is ongoing, with ongoing interviews and potential repercussions for the season.
The Baltimore Ravens unveiled plans for a $430 million overhaul of M&T Bank Stadium by 2026. The renovations, funded by state funds, aim to enhance the gameday experience. Upgrades include new entertainment zones, expanded concourses, and additional suites. The team will work on the project in phases during off-seasons, with completion scheduled before the 2026 season. Renovations also focus on attracting fans to tailgate within the stadium, offering new suites, and improving overall fan engagement.
