The Harvard Crimson mens soccer team has had its eligibility for awards and recognition revoked by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, after the schools decision to cancel the rest of the season when an investigation found that the team continually made vulgar and sexual comments about members of the womens soccer team.The NSCAA made the announcement on Wednesday. The penalty, approved due to the teams failure to maintain the standard of conduct set forth in the NSCAA Code of Ethics, disqualifies players from consideration for annual awards, including All-Region and All-America honors.Athletic director Robert Scalise wrote in an email to Harvard student-athletes earlier this month that he had decided to cancel the rest of the teams season because the practice, in which women were rated on their perceived sexual appeal and physical appearance, appeared to be more widespread across the team and has continued beyond 2012, including in 2016.As a direct result of what Harvard Athletics has learned, we have decided to cancel the remainder of the 2016 mens soccer season, Scalise wrote. The team will forfeit its remaining games and will decline any opportunity to achieve an Ivy League championship or to participate in the NCAA Tournament this year.The soccer team issued an apology to the student newspaper, The Harvard Crimson.We accept responsibility for the mistakes and serious lapses in judgment that have led us here, and, in addition to accepting the sanctions from the Athletic Department, are shifting our focus toward the concrete actions we can take to address the fundamental issue of sexism in our community, the team said in its apology.The school had been investigating a document that was circulated by the 2012 mens soccer team. The document, which comprised sexual comments about members of the womens soccer team, was uncovered last week by The Harvard Crimson.The mens team had been in first place in the Ivy League. It will forfeit its remaining games and decline any opportunity for postseason play. Cheap Sabres Jerseys Authentic . - The Oakland Raiders re-signed offensive lineman Khalif Barnes on Friday.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

Essex 601 for 5 dec (Westley 254, ten Doeschate 109*, Bopara 99, Cook 66) beat Worcestershire 230 (Cox 63, Rhodes 59, Masters 7-52) and 210 (Napier 5-59) by an innings and 161 runsScorecard Id be lying if I said I werent checking the scores, admitted Essexs head coach Chris Silverwood.Every interval - virtually every moment of peace - at Chelmsford over the last three days had been broken by an update of scores from around the country, both in the stands and the players balcony.News of Kents emphatic victory over Sussex, taking them level on points with Essex at the top of Division Two, filtered through as the players were walking off the field for tea. Just over an hour later, Essex had completed their demolition job of Worcestershire. This victory by an innings and 161 runs will have registered down the road in Kent, too.A three-day finish was on the cards when Worcestershire were reduced to 64 for 5 by lunch, in their first innings on day one. That Essex were able to fulfil expectations was ultimately down to Graham Napier, who picked up his fourth five-wicket haul of the season, after Ryan ten Doeschate had brought up his third century of the season before declaring 371 runs ahead.It was not the cleanest mornings work from Essex. They lost Tom Westley run out for 254: his innings ended at 506 minutes after ten Doeschate dropped the ball into the off side and ran instantly. Westley gave up the run about halfway down, as Brett DOliveira swooped from point to throw down the stumps.Still, the Essex skipper remained calm and brought up his century from 114 balls. His innings also took his seasons tally past 1,000 first-class runs for the first time in his career.Essex should have struck in the first over of Worcestershires second innings. Jamie Porter got his fourth delivery to lift off a length and take Daryl Mitchells edge, only for Nick Browne to put down a simple catch at third slip. Browne would make amends later with a stunning one-handed catch at point, off the bowling of Will Rhodes, to remove Tom Fell.Mitchells reprieve allowed him and DOliveira to survive until the last over before lunch. It was then that David Masters, in his first over from the Hayes Close end, where he nabbed all seven of his first innings wickets, sent Mitchell on his way with a delivery that kept low as it moved in, knocking into middle and off stump.With the fourth ball after lunch, DOliveira was accounted for - becomming the first of Napiers three afternoon-session wickets when he edged through to James Foster.dddddddddddd The second came when Joe Clarke played on, looking to continue on an enterprising innings that was cut short at 22.At this point, George Rhodes, the only bright spot for Worcestershire at Chelmsford, seemed to be on his way to a second half-century in the match.It was at this point that ten Doeschate decided to throw the ball to Westley. Despite the change in regulation, spin has played little part at Chelmsford. In fact, Westleys first over, the 39th of the second innings, was the first sight of spin from the hosts. It took just four balls to come good, as Ross Whiteley was trapped in front from around the wicket. In Westleys next over, he drew Rhodes out of his crease to give James Foster his first Championship stumping of the season. The wicket of Leach, bowled by a full Napier delivery that moved late into the right-hander, took the teams to tea.There was a carnival feel to the evening session, as the floodlights were superseded by the sun, which found a gap in the clouds as Essex pushed for a day off. Ed Barnard, caught by Westley at second slip off Napier and then Ben Cox, flicking Masters tamely to Jamie Porter at mid on, gave Napier four in the innings and Masters nine in the match (he had never taken 10). And so the game within a game began - who would get the final wicket? In the end, it went Napiers way, as Jack Shantry, having stroked a couple of boundaries, offered a high leading edge that ten Doeschate caught brilliantly, sprinting in from mid off.Essex now have a round off, while Kent host a revitalised Northamptonshire at Beckenham. In the meantime, the Essex players will be given some time off before they return to Chelmsford on September 12 to play Glamorgan, before a potential winner-takes-all clash with Kent at Canterbury in the final round of the season.Essex will play their remaining two matches without Alastair Cook, hence the acquisition of Adam Wheater on loan. With Hampshire happy for the wicketkeeper batsman to court opportunities elsewhere ahead of next season, Essex are thought to be interested in bringing him back to the club he left in 2013 on a more permanent basis. Silverwood, though, was keen not to comment on the matter just yet. ' ' '
