Harvard cancels soccer team’s season

BOSTON

Harvard University is suspending its men’s soccer team for the rest of the season over sexual comments made about members of the women’s soccer team.

University President Drew Faust said in a statement Thursday night that an investigation into the 2012 team found that their “appalling” comments were not isolated and have continued through the current season.

The 2012 document uncovered by The Harvard Crimson student newspaper rated the attractiveness of recruits on the women’s team and included lewd comments about them. Members of the men’s team called it their “scouting report” and circulated it online.

Croatia, Kosovo fined by FIFA for chants

ZURICH

FIFA has fined the Croatian and Kosovan soccer federations a total of 80,000 Swiss francs ($82,000) by FIFA for anti-Serbia chants by fans at a World Cup qualifying match.

Fans of both teams were heard chanting “Kill, kill the Serbs” in their own language during Croatia’s 6-0 win on Oct. 6.

The Croatia federation was ordered to pay 50,000 Swiss francs ($51,300) and Kosovo was fined 30,000 Swiss francs ($30,700), FIFA said on Thursday. Its disciplinary panel took other offenses into account.

The incidents marred Kosovo’s first competitive home game since joining FIFA in May.

The World Cup qualifying match was played in Shkodra, Albania, because Kosovo — a former province of Serbia which declared independence in 2008 — does not yet have an approved stadium.
