Golden 1 shred event 20168/23/2023 ![]() They were careless, disgusting, and appalling, but an aberrant display of misogyny such as this does not reflect the type of environment Harvard Athletics cultivates. The actions and words displayed by members of the 2012 men’s soccer team have deeply hurt us. While at Harvard, our coaches taught us that the only thing we can control in life is ourselves-our own attitude and effort-ultimately, our own actions and our own words. We know as teammates that we rise to the occasion, that we are stronger together, and that we will not tolerate anything less than respect for women that we care for more than ourselves. This document might have stung any other group of women you chose to target, but not us. And, even still, we keep fighting for ourselves, yes, but above all for our teammates. To fight so hard, yet no matter what we do, the game is still out of our hands. We know what it’s like to get knocked down. Eighteen years-as successful, powerful, and undeniably brilliant female athletes - taught us that. This document attempts to pit us against one another, as if the judgment of a few men is sufficient to determine our worth. We know the fullest extent of its contents: the descriptions of our bodies, the numbers we were each assigned, and the comparison to each other and recruits in classes before us. We have seen the “scouting report” in its entirety. Having considered members of this team our close friends for the past four years, we are beyond hurt to realize these individuals could encourage, silently observe, or participate in this kind of behavior, and for more than four years have neglected to apologize until this week. We are concerned for the future, because we know that the only way we can truly move past this culture is for the very men who perpetrate it to stop it in its tracks. We are distraught that mothers having daughters almost a half century after getting equal rights have to worry about men's entitlement to bodies that aren't theirs. We are appalled that female athletes who are told to feel empowered and proud of their abilities are so regularly reduced to a physical appearance. We feel hopeless because men who are supposed to be our brothers degrade us like this. More than anything, we are frustrated that this is a reality that all women have faced in the past and will continue to face throughout their lives. In all, we do not pity ourselves, nor do we ache most because of the personal nature of this attack. Yet as the media has taken advantage of the Harvard name once more, it has become increasingly difficult to evade the pervasiveness of this story, harder still to elude the abhorrent judgment of our peers and the outrageous Internet commentary of the public, and hardest to subdue the embarrassment, disgust, and pain we feel as a result. The sad reality is that we have come to expect this kind of behavior from so many men, that it is so “normal” to us we often decide it is not worth our time or effort to dwell on. As if this kind of thing was just, “normal.” As if we weren’t surprised men had spoken of us inappropriately. When first notified of this “scouting report” each of us responded with surprise and confusion, but ultimately brushed off the news as if it didn’t really matter. We are these women, we are not anonymous, and rather than having our comments taken, spun, and published behind the guise of a fake anonymity offered to us by numerous news outlets, we have decided to speak for ourselves.
