Harvard cancels the rest of their Men's Soccer Season

[Obliviax]

because it was discovered the men ranked the woman's soccer players by their appearance.

Harvard University suspended its first-place men’s soccer team Thursday for the rest of the season after discovering that players’ crude sexual comments about the women’s team persisted for years, the Harvard Crimson reported.

The online practice of the men rating the women players on their sexual attractiveness was discovered from a 2012 document, but it appeared to “be more widespread across the team and has continued beyond 2012, including 2016,” athletic director Robert L. Scalise said in an email.​

“The team will forfeit its remaining games and will decline any opportunity to achieve an Ivy League championship or to participate in the NCAA Tournament this year,” he wrote.​

there you go!!!

College kids discussing other college kid's appearances. Now how can we just flat out outlaw this so no one suffers any further pain and suffering? We need jail time to set an example.

No way, a group of college men ranking a group of college women based on how attractive they think they are. The horror!!! Wonder if they would have cancelled the season had the men's soccer team been ranking how attractive they found the players on another men's team?

Careful, our board might be next!

This is how Facebook started, at Harvard.

Obviously Harvard has a culture problem. It needs to be shut down.

Uh oh! If that idea catches on, it could mean real trouble for the future of this board.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give Harvard's decision a solid 1.

And these are the type of people that will probably be forming our future Supreme Court.

Pretty soon, the Government and your taxpayer dollars will be going towards Federal Programs called Heterosexuals Anonymous.

Much more. I'm hearing they had intended to wear sombreros ironically during a future ranking session.

Oh c'mon. We all know women don't notice things like a man's physical appearance therefore they would never rank men based upon their looks. When a girl hangs posters of the latest male sex symbol on her wall, she only does it because she admires his acting ability or musical talent. His appearance has nothing to do with it. It's only us primitive sex-obsessed men who notice things like physical appearance.

Does anyone remember when the group of "co-eds" at Duke:

- Slept with various guys (largely targeting "student-athletes" at the University)

- Then "ranked" them according to their "performance"
Complete with bar graphs, diagrams, and rating systems

- The system was published on line.....including a Power-Point presentation.

[Now - - - how does that compare to "ranking" a group of gals based on how "hot" they look?]

What? You all don't remember the "morally-outraged" advocates? Pontificating and calling for severe action?

The response from the folks at Duke - - - - which apparently none of the "I am morally outraged" crowd had any problem with:

The Duke leadership referred to the entire thing as a "teachable moment"

I shit you not


So GD sick of these morally outraged advocates, and their "rape-culture" memes and bloviations of bullshit........why don't we have a morally-outraged advocacy group decrying the "slut culture"?
.
These assholes should see what I see every Friday and Saturday night - - - on College Avenue at 2am - - - before they spew their BS.

From what I understand this was much more than rating on 1-10 scale. They publically posted them along with crude and demeaning comments. I am sure if these were publicly posted about your wife or daughter you would want action taken also. They also lied to administrators when confronted about it.

Depends on the words used. Or how attractive or unattractive.

Maybe, but what the heck does cancelling the rest of the season do? Does it take away the demeaning comment? Does it change anything? No. It just lets someone somewhere on Harvard's campus feel good about themselves because they care so much. Pure show.

It a consequence for their actions. Using your logic if a Penn State football player smashes a bunch of windows in a dorm they should not get suspended because it would not unbreak the window. It would just be so people feel better about themselves.

Well when "young ladies".....do something far, far worse:

It is a "teachable moment"

Oh just stop it. For one, you're comparing a crime (vandalism) to something which might not be more than just inappropriate words, who knows. And using your logic, then Penn State would forfeit the rest of its season because of the actions of that one player. See how silly that is.

No, the guys whose soccer season was cancelled for something stupid like this will be forming our future supreme court. Whether or not you like Trump, the backlash on this sort of thing is just beginning.

There is always more to the story than the usual suspects here want us to believe.

 

[hereforthebeer]

eh... I believe that women's lacrosse teams on average, have highest attractiveness rating on campuses nationwide.

Negative. Field hockey.

 

[FLMike]

Come on .....canceling the entire season! How much more fricken liberal can this damm country get? Were any of the girls bullied or physically assulted? Did the boys print out their results and post the flyers all over campus and town? Whats next.... recommended jail time for having an opinion at age 20 as to who you think is "hot" and God forbit to say who isn't! Where does all this "lets all be extra sensitive crap" stop.? May God help us all.

It was harassment of fellow students. It was not just some inappropriate words. It was not one player it was the entire team and they lied to cover it up.

I hope you are right, but after watching some of those O'Keefe videos, I'm convinced voter fraud is exponentially more rampant than we think.

Essentially they did as the posted publically and shared it other people. I would say that meets the definition of bullying. What your definition? If you had a daughter who was a student at Penn State would you have no problem with the football team publically posting derogatory comments about her and sharing them with friends? Do you feel this is acceptable behavior?

[PSU_Nut]

It was in several of the articles I have read. It been going since 2012 and the 2016 team apparently continued the tradition.

Good point. I don't do social media so I don't really know but don't kids post derogatory comments about others and share them with friends all the time? Do they (and any group to which they belong) receive punishment? Sounds like they should.

I must have missed your "outraged" wrt the Duke co-eds.

I'll have to pay closer attention


Either that......or maybe I didn't "miss" it........in which case, Shut Up

Well sure, but my point isn't about Trump vs. Clinton. It is more about the backlash against this current culture where noone can say anything without offending someone. Some of the support Trump carries is just people angry about the PC society.

Here's a fun little thing. Watch this video. How many cases of "Sexual Assault" and "Assault" are in it? I stopped counting with a high number. This is how far society has changed.

Was the thread about that case? No it was about the Harvard case. I also think the that women should have faced sanctions for her actions.
