Past Harvard Men’s Cross Country Teams Wrote ‘Sexually Explicit’ Comments About Women’s Team
The Harvard men’s cross country team was found to have created yearly spreadsheets with sexually explicit comments about the women’s team, a practice previously exposed within the men’s soccer team. These spreadsheets included predictions about which women would invite certain men to the dance, alongside comments on the women’s physical appearances. Concerns over the content, particularly from 2012 and 2014, were raised in a group message among current and past team members. The 2014 spreadsheet was notably criticized for its lewd comments. Members also expressed concern over the potential exposure of these documents and took steps to restrict access.| Creator |
