Harvard suspends men's soccer team for lewd 'scouting report' of women's soccer team
The Harvard men's soccer team will be suspended for the rest of its season after an investigation found the team continued to make vulgar and sexual comments about members of the women's soccer team.
The Harvard Crimson student newspaper first reported the school's decision.
Athletic director Robert L. Scalise wrote in an email to Harvard student-athletes that he decided to cancel the rest of the team's season because the practice, in which women were rated on their perceived sexual appeal and physical appearance, appeared "to be more widespread across the team and has continued beyond 2012, including in 2016."
"As a direct result of what Harvard Athletics has learned, we have decided to cancel the remainder of the 2016 men's soccer season," Scalise wrote. "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."
