A high school football coach in Ohio has resigned this week ... after officials say he and his team used the word "Nazi" as a play call during their game last Friday night.

The inappropriate language happened during the first half of Brooklyn High School's game against Beachwood High School in Beachwood -- a Cleveland suburb that's predominantly Jewish.

During the first 30 minutes of the game, Brooklyn Hurricanes head coach Tim McFarland and his players were accused of yelling out "Nazi" over and over again. According to Beachwood City Schools Superintendent Robert Hardis, at halftime, Beachwood H.S. threatened to pull its players from the field if Brooklyn didn't stop using the term.

"Brooklyn's coach acknowledged using this word as the play call, apologized, and agreed to change it when the teams returned for the second half," Hardis said.

However, Hardis said while the word was apparently not used during the second half of the contest, a racial slur was still said "freely throughout the night" by Brooklyn players.

On Monday, McFarland -- who became Brooklyn's HC two years ago -- resigned over it all.

Brooklyn Schools Superintendent Ted Caleris said the coach was remorseful for his and his team's actions ... writing in a statement, "McFarland expresses his deepest regret about the matter, and offers his sincerest apologies to the Beachwood and Brooklyn School Communities."

"The Brooklyn City Schools echoes this regret and apology as well. As stated, this hurtful and harmful speech will not be tolerated, in any form, by Brooklyn City Schools leadership."

Un entrenador de fútbol americano de un instituto de Ohio ha dimitido esta semana después de que las autoridades afirmaran que él y su equipo utilizaron la palabra "nazi" en una jugada durante el partido del pasado viernes por la noche.

El lenguaje inapropiado se produjo durante la primera mitad del partido del Brooklyn High School contra el Beachwood High School en Beachwood, un suburbio de Cleveland predominantemente judío.

Durante los primeros 30 minutos del partido, el entrenador de los Brooklyn Hurricanes, Tim McFarland y sus jugadores fueron acusados de gritar "nazi" una y otra vez. Según el superintendente de las escuelas de la ciudad de Beachwood, Robert Hardis, en el descanso, Beachwood H.S. amenazó con retirar a sus jugadores del campo si Brooklyn no dejaba de utilizar el término.

"El entrenador de Brooklyn reconoció el uso de esta palabra como la llamada de juego, se disculpó y accedió a cambiarlo cuando los equipos regresaron para la segunda mitad", dijo Hardis.

Sin embargo, Hardis dijo que mientras la palabra aparentemente no se utilizó durante la segunda mitad del encuentro, un insulto racial se dijo "libremente durante toda la noche" por los jugadores de Brooklyn.

El lunes, McFarland  —que se convirtió en el HC de Brooklyn hace dos años— dimitió.

El Superintendente de las Escuelas de Brooklyn —Ted Caleris— dijo que el entrenador estaba arrepentido por sus acciones y las de su equipo y escribió en un comunicado: "McFarland expresa su más profundo pesar por el asunto y ofrece sus más sinceras disculpas a las Comunidades Escolares de Beachwood y Brooklyn".

"Las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Brooklyn también hacen eco de este arrepentimiento y disculpas. Como se ha dicho, este discurso hiriente y dañino no será tolerado en ninguna de sus formas por la dirección de Brooklyn City Schools".

Britney Spears no solo representa un grave peligro para sí misma bailando con cuchillos afilados, sino que también para sus pequeños perros, según piensan sus seguidores, quienes creen que estos deberían ser rescatados.

Britney ha hecho que las personas comenten en Internet, después de poner su fascinación por los cuchillos en plena exhibición el lunes por la noche en un bizarro video donde aparece bailando, pinchando e incluso chocando los cuchillos entre sí.

A lo largo del video, se puede ver a los tres perros de Britney observando asustados, mientras ella da vueltas con los cuchillos afilados. De hecho, cuando Britney los choca, los perros corren a esconderse.

Los fans y críticos de Britney opinaron sobre los perritos en las redes sociales, escribiendo: "Esos pobres perros simplemente corrieron asustados necesitan ser rescatados y ella necesita AYUDA". Otro escribe: "¡¡¡Alguien por favor salve a estos cachorros!!!" y: "Ahora me preocupa que ella tenga perros y mucho menos cualquier animal después de este video".

Debemos señalar que el pie de foto original de Britney bailando decía: "Empecé a jugar en la cocina con cuchillos hoy". Aunque más tarde dijo que eran accesorios falsos de Halloween. Sin embargo, por el sonido, está bastante claro que eran de verdad.

Un fan lo señaló: "Los cuchillos hacían un ruido metálico. Son claramente reales. Lo suficientemente reales como para caer sobre uno de los pobres cachorros y matarlo".

Britney podría haber confirmado los temores de que estos eran reales, con el video que publicó el martes donde aparece con un corte en la pierna y un vendaje en el brazo.

Britney Spears not only poses a serious danger to herself by dancing around with sharp knives, but onlookers believe her tiny dogs are also at risk ... and should be taken away.

Britney's got the internet talking after putting her fascination with knives on full display Monday night in a bizarre video where she danced with, jabbed and even clanged knives together.

Throughout the video, you can see 3 of Britney's dogs looking on in fear as she twirls around with the sharp tools. In fact, when Britney bangs the knives together, the dogs run for cover.

Britney fans and critics sounded off about the pooches on social media, writing, "Those poor dogs just ran scared they need to be rescued and she needs HELP." Another writes, "Someone please save this puppies!!" and, "I'm now concerned about her having dogs let alone any animals after this video."

We should note, Britney's original caption with the dancing video read, "I started playing in the kitchen with knives today," she later added to say they were fake Halloween props. However, it's pretty clear to tell from the sound, the knives are real.

One fan pointed this out, saying, "The knives made a clanking noises. They're clearly real. Real enough to fall on and kill one of those poor worried pups."

Britney may have confirmed her fans fears that the knives were real, posting a video of herself Tuesday where she appeared to have a cut on her leg and bandage on her arm.

We contacted Ventura County Animal Services who told us they hadn't yet received any complaints about Britney's conduct. However, the rep added, "We reviewed the video, and while the dogs appeared to be startled by the clinking of the knives, we didn’t feel they were in a situation where an officer needed to be dispatched."

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Should Britney Spears' dogs be taken away from her in light of the knife video? Vote below.

Kanye West is cooking up more than nude bodysuits for his wife -- he's also hard at work on his next solo project, one that might put his popularity to a major test.

Sources connected to the production tell TMZ Hip Hop, Ye is in a "truly great headspace" and has been cranking out songs at a rapid pace ... completing nearly 10 tracks this week alone.

It's been more than 2 years since Ye released a project, the last being 2021's "Donda," and we're hearing the music and themes will be closer to the "old Kanye" sound ... with less political theatrics than some of his recent endeavors.

We're told Ye's frequent collaborator Ty Dolla $ign has also been on hand in the studio, so it's also possible they create a joint album in addition to his solo endeavor.

Fans have been fiendin' for new music from Kanye for some time, which would explain Tuesday's frenzy over a leak of Ye's Dr. Dre collab album "Jesus Is King 2."

The excitement for that surprise drop might bode well for Ye's ability to bounce back from controversy ... again.

He's been silent, publicly, since last year's antisemitic rants that cost him several business partnerships, and his billionaire status -- so, it will be interesting to see how the public responds to a musical comeback.

We're told there's no imminent release date for Ye's new tunes, and he's taking his time with the album in order to mirror the quality his reputation used to hold.

Has Kanye West permanently ruined his legacy? Vote below.

Kanye West ha estado tramando algo más que atuendos semi desnudos para su esposa. Nos enteramos que también está trabajando duro en su próximo proyecto en solitario, el que podría ser una importante prueba para testear su popularidad.

Fuentes conectadas con la producción dicen a TMZ Hip Hop, que Ye está "con una mentalidad muy positiva" y componiendo canciones a un ritmo rápido. Solo esta semana ha completado casi 10 pistas.

Han pasado más de 2 años desde que Ye lanzó su último proyecto, "Donda" de 2021, y nos cuentan que la música y los temas que vienen estarían más cerca del sonido del "viejo Kanye", con menos teatralidad política que algunos de sus esfuerzos recientes.

Nos dicen que el colaborador frecuente de Ye, Ty Dolla $ign, también ha estado en el estudio, por lo que es posible que creen un álbum, además de su esfuerzo en solitario.

Los fans han estado deseando nueva música de Kanye desde hace algún tiempo, lo que explicaría el frenesí del martes por una filtración del álbum de colaboración de Ye con Dr. Dre, "Jesus Is King 2".

El entusiasmo por esa sorpresa podría ser un buen augurio para la capacidad de Ye de recuperarse de la controversia, nuevamente.

Él ha estado en silencio desde que el año despotricara comentarios antisemitas que le costaron varias asociaciones de negocios, y su condición de multimillonario, por lo que será interesante ver cómo responde el público a un regreso musical.

Britney Spears may have cut herself when playing with knives ... now sporting a bandage and what appears to be a gash on her thigh and lower back.

Britney just posted the video, wearing the same outfit she was in when she spun around, jabbed and clanged together two butcher knives ... only this time she's got the new apparent injuries.

Britney doesn't explain why she's got the white bandage or what caused the cut on her upper thigh or lower back, but they're all new injuries since her first knife video Monday night.

As we told you ... Britney's got a fascination with knives. In fact, when she was taken off her conservatorship there were recommendations given in order to make sure she was safe. One of the most important recommendations was to keep knives away from Britney.

Our sources say she keeps the sharp tools throughout her house -- including inside her bedroom -- as a form of protection out of fear she'll be re-institutionalized.

Of course, Britney claimed the knives in Monday's video were fake, but only after she got a ton of heat for posting the video online. They also sounded VERY real when she clanged them together.

Britney Spears podría haberse cortado mientras jugaba con cuchillos, pues ahora luce un vendaje y lo que parece ser un corte en el muslo y la espalda baja.

Britney acaba de publicar el video, vistiendo el mismo atuendo que llevaba cuando giró y chocó sus dos cuchillos en un baile. Solo que esta vez tiene dos aparentes lesiones.

Britney no explica por qué lleva el vendaje ni lo que causó el corte en la parte superior de su muslo y espalda baja, pero todas las lesiones son nuevas desde que compartió su primer video con cuchillos el lunes por la noche.

Como les contamos, Britney tiene una fascinación por los cuchillos. De hecho, cuando le quitaron la tutela hubo recomendaciones para que estuviera segura y una de las más importantes era que había que mantener los cuchillos lejos de Britney.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que ella los mantiene afilados por toda su casa, incluyendo dentro de su dormitorio, como una forma de protegerse ante el temor de volver a ser re-institucionalizada.

Erica Mena's ousting from "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" is giving the cast plenty of content for an upcoming special ... which Erica says is pretty hypocritical, considering everything was all good until her controversial episode aired.

VH1's airing a special roundtable discussion Tuesday, hosted by "colorism expert" Dr. Sarah L. Webb and featuring cast members such as Lil Scrappy, Yung Joc and Spice, ... who was the target of EM's "monkey" comment, which led to Erica's firing.

After tonight's episode was announced, Erica posted a video claiming she'd been on the set several days after her explosive argument with Spice aired and says the network "proudly" put it out for the world to see.

Her point is "L&HH" producers were fine with her, and only fired her in response to the public backlash that came once the episode aired.

A source close to Erica tells TMZ Hip Hop ... she feels the network is trying to silence her, after the fact, by not letting her participate in the roundtable.

We're also told Erica continued working on the show for 7 months after the "monkey" argument -- another reason she feels producers are only shutting her out to avoid public backlash.

Una mujer de Georgia está siendo tachada de aguafiestas después de golpear agresivamente el piano de un artista callejero y tirar su instrumento al suelo.

Un video que se ha hecho viral en las redes sociales muestra a la joven acercándose al artista —llamado Andrew— dos veces, mientras este toca y canta "Piano Man", de Billy Joel, en la acera de Athens, Georgia.

Lo primero que hace es golpear las teclas en medio de la canción, pero vuelve más tarde y hace lo mismo, provocando que el piano se caiga al suelo. Luego aparece para acercarse al tarro de propinas. Andrew dice que ella tomó el dinero, pero eso no está claro.

Los investigadores de Internet descubrieron que la mujer del video era Shauntae Heard, quien ahora se disculpa por sus acciones.

Shauntae dice: "Lo siento por todos los que han visto el video viral. He asumido la responsabilidad de mis acciones. Sé que estuvo mal y que fui una ignorante, pero por favor, no metan a mi familia en esto. Ustedes tienen problemas conmigo, no con mi familia, no sacan nada con mandarles mensajes a ellos o a mí y ya me he disculpado con la persona afectada".

Y añade: "Todo está bien, yo no robé ningún dinero y no rompí el piano, soy un ser humano al igual que todos ustedes. Todo el mundo ha cometido errores. Nadie es perfecto. Otra vez lo siento... he visto cosas mucho peores ocurriendo en el centro, esto no es nada en comparación, pero sé que no está bien".

Shauntae dice que más tarde habló con el artista callejero por teléfono y él aceptó sus disculpas.

A woman in Georgia is being labeled a serious party pooper after aggressively slamming her hands on a street performer's piano ... knocking the instrument to the ground.

Here's the deal ... a video going viral on social media shows the young woman approach the performer, named Andrew, twice as he plays and sings Billy Joel's "Piano Man" on the sidewalk in Athens, GA.

On the first go-round, she slams the keys in the middle of his song ... but then returns later in the evening to pull the same stunt, causing the piano to fall to the ground. She then appears to reach into his tip jar, Andrew says she took money, but that's unclear.

Internet sleuths outed the woman from the video as Shauntae Heard, and now she's apologizing for her actions.

Shauntae says ... "I'm sorry for everyone that has seen the viral video. I have took accountability for my actions. I know it was wrong and ignorant of me but please keep my family out of it. Y'all problem is with me not my family you don't get anything out of texting them or me and I have already apologize to the person we have talk."

She adds ... "Everything is good no I didn't steal any money, and I didn't break the piano I'm a human just like you all. Everyone has made mistakes nobody isn't perfect again I'm sorry, For my actions I've seen worse downtown this is nothing compared to what I did and I know it's not right."

Shauntae says she later spoke with the street performer on the phone and he accepted her apology.

New Mexico State didn't only beat rival University of New Mexico earlier this month ... quarterback Diego Pavia also allegedly peed on UNM's logo -- an act that was seemingly captured on video!

New Mexico St. and UNM, in-state rivals, squared off on September 16 ... a game NMSU won 27-17. Pavia, their junior signal caller, went 9/14 for 203 passing yards and 2 touchdowns.

Nice game.

But, perhaps feeling he hadn't done enough, Pavia seems to have offered the grounds crew an assist by (allegedly) watering the indoor ... turf?

Per leaked video, a person wearing sweats (no uniform), appearing to be the quarterback, was seen urinating on the Lobo logo. It's unclear if this was before or after the game.

A spokesperson for UNM told the Albuquerque Journal they became aware of the video several days after the game, and notified NMSU of the situation.

If Pavia's in trouble -- and let's be honest, he likely is -- New Mexico State says they will not reveal any disciplinary information, citing "federal privacy laws."

Pavia, who became the full-time starter last season after sharing time as a freshman, has started all five of NMSU's games (they're 2-3), including the team's 20-17 loss to Hawaii on Saturday.

When Beyoncé says, "Everybody on mute," you better keep quiet ... or else ya might end up like this concertgoer who got whacked for ruining the viral "mute challenge."

The clip appears to be from Bey's Sunday night concert in Houston, and shows the repercussions for someone in the crowd who just couldn't pipe down during the popular moment of her song, "Energy."

For those unaware, concert venues have usually gone dead silent as the singer goes, "Look around everybody on mute." The strict silence has been a growing trend throughout her world tour, and the BeyHive has gotten pretty good at it.

They've also become very vigilant of rowdy fan's like this guy, and he ended up getting hit while chomping on some popcorn! Looks like he laughed it off, so it's not clear if they know each other, but the woman who struck him added a "Shut the f**k up" ... so he'd know she meant it.

FYI, fans online haven't been that thrilled with the noisy dude either ... as one person put it, "When the queen says stfu you stfu."

As you can imagine, it's gotta be impossible to get stadiums fully quiet, so some are still going to screw it up and disregard the social media trend.

But most are doing the challenge justice ... even this fan who was quick to stop themself from doin' everyone else dirty!

Cuando Beyoncé dice: "Todo el mundo en silencio", es mejor hacerle caso, de lo contrario puedes terminar como este fanático que fue golpeado por arruinar el desafío.

El clip parece ser del concierto de Bey el domingo por la noche en Houston, y muestra las repercusiones para un hombre en la multitud que simplemente no pudo callarse durante el popular momento de su canción "Energy."

Para los que no saben, en los conciertos suele haber un silencio sepulcral mientras la cantante dice: "Mira a tu alrededor todo el mundo en silencio". El silencio estricto ha sido una tendencia creciente a lo largo de su gira mundial, y a la BeyHive se le ha dado bastante bien.

También se han vuelto muy vigilantes con los fans alborotadores, como este en particular, que terminó recibiendo un golpe mientras comía palomitas (o pop corn). Parece que él se lo tomó para la risa, así que no está claro si se conocían, pero la mujer que lo golpeó añadió un "cállate la puta boca", para que él supiera que lo decía en serio.

Para su información, a los fans de Internet tampoco les ha gustado la actuación del fan, porque como una persona dijo: "Cuando la reina dice silencio es silencio".

Como se pueden imaginar, es casi imposible lograr que los estadios se silencien por completo, así que algunos siguen metiendo la pata y haciendo caso omiso a la tendencia de las redes sociales.

Pero la mayoría está haciendo justicia al desafío, ¡incluso este fan que se apresuró en dejar de arruinar la fiesta para todos!

9:56 PM PT -- Britney Spears just adjusted her caption, saying, "Don't worry they are NOT real knives!!! Halloween is soon!!!" Thing is ... you hear the clanging of the knives as they come together, so they sure seem real.

Britney Spears put her years-long fascination with knives on full display ... dangerously dancing with two massive butcher knives in a bizarre new video.

Spears posted the video Monday holding the razor-sharp blades with the caption, "I started playing in the kitchen with knives today" while she rubbed and even clapped the blades together while dancing.

The whole thing comes across as extremely dangerous -- as Spears clearly isn't trained to hold or handle the tools in such a manner ... at times jabbing them in the air.

While Britney claims she only started playing with the knives "today," we were first to report months ago Britney had a fascination with knives.

In fact, as her conservatorship came to an end, those responsible for her care made a list of recommendations ... one major rec being to keep knives away from her.

Multiple sources tell us Britney saw knives as a form of protection, afraid she's be re-institutionalized. We're told Britney keeps knives all around her house -- including in her bedroom -- and one source said she, "was paranoid someone was going to get her, and she needed the knives as protection."

Now, without Sam Asghari or anyone to truly make sure she's safe, the new video is extremely dangerous alarming to say the least.

Do you think Britney Spears is a danger to herself? Vote below.

Alabama State's Jacob Freeman punched a security guard in the face during Saturday's Florida A&M game, an attack that was caught on video ... and now the wide receiver has been arrested.

The altercation started when Freeman, number 16, lost his cool with a fan on the sidelines ... and seemingly attempted to get to the person. Security attempted to step in and stop JF, which evidently angered the Alabama State player.

That's when Freeman, helmet still on, threw a quick right, landing square on the guard's face, who immediately clutched the area that had been punched.

On Sunday, Freeman was arrested by the FAMU Police Department, according to the Leon County Sheriff's Office. Freeman was charged with one count of "battery causing bodily harm".

Freeman took a mug shot and was eventually released from jail.

However, he won't be seeing a football field anytime soon ... Bama St. suspended him for his behavior.

"We do not condone the actions of the student-athlete, nor are the actions representative of the expectations set forth by the athletic department and our university," the athletics department said in a statement.

Hornets head coach Eddie Robinson Jr., during a SWAC coaches media call, said Freeman is remorseful, "but at the same time, he has to go through the process of his actions."
