Harvard soccer season CANCELLED over sexist ‘ranking’ of women
Scandal has descended upon Harvard University this week, after the discovery of a sexist tradition carried out by the college’s men’s soccer team.
According to the University newspaper, The Harvard Crimson, a document called the ‘scouting report’ was recently uncovered, containing the soccer team’s ‘rankings’ of the ‘attractiveness’ and ‘sexual appeal’ of their female counterparts.
While the 2012 soccer team was found to be responsible for the vile ‘report’, it is believed that this was part of an annual tradition carried on right up to 2016.
The nine-page document ‘evaluated’ the freshmen players, with a score, a sexual position and critical comments assigned to each member of the women’s team. Their photos – taken from the players’ personal Facebook pages – were also included.
One particularly vile excerpt from the document reads: “She seems to be very strong, tall and manly, so I gave her a three because I felt bad. Not much needs to be said on this one, folks.”
Elsewhere, the team joked about the player who was ‘both the hottest and the most STD-ridden’.
The University’s top authorities have taken serious action in response, cancelling the men’s soccer season.
The team’s coach, Pieter S. Lehrer expressed his dismay over the entire debacle: “We are beyond disappointed that our season has ended this way, but we respect the decision made by the administration.”

Aren't #Harvard students supposed to be smarter? Yet the men's soccer team posted its "scouting report" about the women's team online? Dumb.

We sense that, somehow, this is only the beginning and there is a lot more to come.
