'OnlyFans' comment about high schoolers in Speedos ignites controversy
An Inland Empire high school water polo player’s mother is calling on two school board members to resign after accusing them of “sexualizing” members of the boys water polo team who were photographed wearing Speedos at a school baseball game.
The controversy began in late April, when members of the Temecula Valley High School water polo team attended a baseball game between swim meets.
While cheering on their classmates, the boys, who had painted the letters B-E-A-R-S on their chests, dropped their pants to reveal school-colored brown and yellow swimwear.
A photo of the moment was posted on the baseball team’s Instagram account with the caption “Our fans > better than yours. GO BEARS.”
Komrosky took to his own Instagram account, writing that if the water polo players wanted to support the baseball team, they should do so while looking like professionals. “My concern is that I do not want them to look like they’re in a sexually provocative strip tease, looking like they’re one step close to the Chippendales,” he wrote. “We don’t need that in our school district, in our community.”
Sharon Sardina, whose 17-year-old son was in the photo, said she was furious when she learned about the school board members’ comments. She and her husband, Brian Sardina, are now calling for the two board members to resign. “It’s flat out sexual harassment no matter how you look at it,” Brian told KTLA’s Chris Wolfe.
At a May 12 school board meeting, Sharon submitted a public comment calling for the resignations of Wiersma and Komrosky. She urged board members to recognize the seriousness of their remarks and said the incident underscored why many parents in the district feel they cannot trust the board’s leadership.
“For the last two weeks, I have watched my son carry the weight of comments made by adults,” she told board members.
