Harvard Cross Country Team Busted for Sexual Messages

I remember sitting with my friend at Noon while college watching the girls walk by. We would rate them 1-10, Neither of us had a chance with anything higher than a 7, but it was fun to rate!

These Harvard guys could learn a thing or twelve from "An Education Beyond the Classroom: Excelling in the Realm of Horizontal Academics." It's a report on "Tempestuous Frolicking" with various Duke athletes. It's much more complete (and entertaining) than anything we've seen from Cambridge.

what's w/ the fascination white dudes have w/ white women who choose to have sex w/ black men?

Really.

As a black guy in Toronto I've dated white girls, black girls, Asian girls, whatever.

Only when I first came to an American running website did I ever learn phrases like "coal burner" and "mud shark."

Sad and backward.

The country is turning into a joke. Special snowfakes, microagessions, safe spaces and trigger warnings. This will end when the white males stop financially supporting these institutions.

The team created the spreadsheets each year ahead of an annual dance with the women’s team. In the documents, the men guessed which women would invite certain men to the event. In certain spreadsheets, the men added comments about the women’s physical appearance.

Sometimes, the guys commented on the women's appearance. It sounds like most of the time they were predicting which women would invite them to a dance.

Does anyone think that the women 'judged' the men when handing out their invites on things like appearance or even place of birth or major? How dare them.

Maybe, but the difference is they weren't dumb enough to record it on a spreadsheet.

wow for smart kids they are really stupid

What is it with these Harvard guys, where they need to take this area of life and turn it into an investment banking project- reports, spreadsheets, etc.?

The sheer banky-consulty douchiness of it all is what I'd be embarrassed about- way more so than any sexism or crass objectification.

RoJo,

The article did mention comments about one girl getting a lot of "black d*ck."

Really though... why are these kids doing spreadsheets? Can they not just talk to women and play it cool? They have to make a spreadsheet?

With the coach already on the radar I bet he doesn't last long.

The biggest question is though... Who's the snitch?

Well, all you Trump bashers out there, time to admit that Locker Room talk does indeed exist. Everywhere.

And yet none of either the soccer players or the runners brag about being a pathetic looser who needs to grope women.

Amazing, isn't it...

Don't you understand that the type of guy that goes to Harvard more than likely never got a date in high school, didn't have a date to Homecoming or Prom, and basically led an anti-social life? These are not normal dudes. It is not normal to be accepted into Harvard.

I know two friends that went to Harvard that were on my XC team in high school - one graduated after a decade as a neurosurgeon and now works as a janitor because he chooses to. The other studied history, moved to Hawaii, and is a surf bum. Obviously, these are not typical Harvard grads, but there is a percentage that don't amount to much because of social issues. BTW, they were both pretty cool guys in HS, but not with the ladies.

You know a Harvard educated neurosurgeon who works as a janitor? I call BS

sounds a little good will hunting esque

^^^This. Of course, SJW's justify it by claiming that persons who belong to traditional groups in "power" (i.e., men, whites, etc.) are not allowed to speak in ways that entrench that power. However, nobody bats an eye when housewives get together to compare their husbands. Hence why Hillary gets a pass for egregious behavior, while Trump is excoriated for his remarks.

Nobody wants equality. Traditionally oppressed groups (women, minorities) want to be in control and flip the script. If it were all about equality, there would not be a concerted attempt to police thoughts and actions attributable to normal human behavior.

The worst part is that we now have a nation full of simple-minded, immature people who focus on isolated behaviors as the end-all-be-all method to end the ills of the world. In this case, simpletons think that shutting down male behavior will end sexual assault (newsflash: it won't), much like eliminating religion will end violence (newsflash: it won't) or forcing diversity will end racism (newsflash: it won't).

Why are you talking about sexism and objectification? Neither of those occurred here.

We're not talking about housewives comparing husbands. We're talking about student athletes who represent the university producing degrading spreadsheets rating female student athletes. This type of thing has no place in education or a professional work environment.

Limit that kind of stuff to the bar when you're having drinks.

I misread the title of this thread and thought it said "Massages." That would have been baller class. Messages on a forum? That's just stupid.

Comment was in the context of both recent incidents- soccer and cross country. Maybe it's painting with too broad a brush. The reality is that there is always going to be locker room talk on men's teams.. It's turning the whole world of dating and relationships into these spreadsheets and reports that's embarrassing.
