Harvard Soccer Team Misogyny Ends Season

http://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/17965882/harvard-cancels-men-soccer-rest-season-review-found-team-had-made-vulgar-comments-documents-women-team

"Aww...they're just being boys."

Well screw that. It seems the team had a sexually-based rating system for team members on the women's soccer team. Well, Harvard has suspended the team, which will forfeit all games and be barred from post-season play.

Now, if this trend would just be followed for all collegiate and prep school sports, we might make some progress.

Misogyny in sports is rampant, especially in intercollegiate sports.

Here's hoping it sets a trend and helps knock out that disgusting behavior everywhere.
