Albert Breer calls Harvard soccer scandal “inside joke,” doubles down

NFL reporter and commentator Albert Breer, currently of Sports Illustrated‘s The MMQB, Comcast Sports Network New England and Boston radio station 98.5 The Sports Hub, has plenty of hot takes on the news that Harvard shut down its men’s soccer team for the season, following an investigation that revealed the team’s long-running, widespread practice of creating documents crudely and explicitly discussing female players’ looks and presumed sexual behavior and also following those players’ letter about how this affected them. Breer decided to portray this as an “inside joke”:

And Breer then doubled down:

it's college kids acting like jackasses. just feels to me like throwing someone in jail for parking in the fire lane.

Everyone objectifies everyone, college kids are jackasses, and this is an example of a parking ticket turning into a jail sentence.

Never said that. Just that I thought the punishment was reactionary to public sentiment and didn't fit the crime. https://t.co/VTcJ55mff5

Unlike what happened in August, Breer probably can’t blame this on hackers.
