Ferndale Community Divided After Business Owner’s Comment on High School Football Players
A proposal to postpone Ferndale’s annual Christmas parade to support the local High School football team at its playoff game next Saturday has sparked major community controversy following a social media comment from a local business owner.
The idea was meant to allow residents to attend the crucial playoff game.
However, the positive momentum was interrupted when Zach Prater made a comment that has since been labeled hateful and racist by some community members.
According to resident Lizz Ann, who posted about the incident, Prater indirectly hinted that the Robinson High football players were future criminals.
She expressed outrage and questioned why a grown man would attack kids who have worked hard to represent their school.
The comment has ignited a firestorm of responses.
Many community members, including teachers and staff at Robinson High, have expressed deep disappointment and hurt, emphasizing the dedication and character of the students involved.
I have SO many friends that teach at Robinson that would deeply saddened that this is being said about our communities kids.

I’m normally not this petty, but as “everybody’s mom” I can’t stand the thought of a grown man talking shit about kids. Especially kids that have worked so hard to represent their school.

The incident has overshadowed the original show of support for the team, turning a unifying proposal into a heated discussion about community values and respect for its youth.
As of now, there has been no public statement from Zach Prater regarding the comment or the subsequent backlash.
The community now faces the dual challenge of addressing the alleged hurtful remarks while still deciding how best to rally behind their playoff-bound football team.
