The parents of a former NFL player from Westchester are speaking out after antisemitic stickers were found on a sign honoring their son.
Hastings school officials say those stickers were place on the “Ali Marpet Way” sign near Farragut Middle School.
Ali grew up in Hastings and played professional football for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
His father says they were shocked to hear about what happened.
"It felt kind of like a kick to the heart. I just thought everybody loves Ali, how could somebody not live Ali? My first thought was something's wrong with them."
The stickers were also found on a stop sign in that area.
Officials say there’s no evidence showing the incident is connected to the middle school.
