When is enough, enough? I hope our youth start to revolt at some point. It's quite comical to try and imagine these things 15 years ago. Coaches would just smack your arse and say, stop it. It would be over and you wouldn't do it again.

Columbia University announced Monday its wrestling team's season has been suspended after the discovery of inappropriate text messages sent between members of the team. According to Seth Berkman of the New York Times, the texts were racist, misogynistic and homophobic in nature, and a statement released Monday revealed the athletic department "has decided that Columbia wrestlers will not compete until we have a full understanding of the facts on which to base the official response to this disturbing matter."

Wouldn't they have to cancel a girl's sport as well under TitleIX?

Ivy League athletic departments are just racing to out-stupid one another.

So now we want to monitor "locker room" talk? Really? The republicans are going to win a lot of political races over the next few years with these idiots in control in lock step with liberals.

Lol we're just supposed to accept the characterization given these texts by the NYT?

I'm pretty liberal and even I say dumb shite like that to friends. The pendulum has swung so fricking far left it's stupid, I'm all for giving these sensitized fricks a terrifying reality check

How can you determine if they are bad or not without seeing them? Maybe Columbia hired Melissa Click and she determined them to be bad. I'd rather form my own opinion based on the context of the messages.

Well you can look at them now

Ok I'm quite confident that literally every mens athletic program would be shut down if everyone's texts were read

Those are the messages they got hit for? I've posted worse on the OT

I want the left to keep doing this.
I deal with kids ages 12-15 a lot and I've got to tell you, I'm detecting a shift away from those ahead of them.
Kids aren't big fans of ridiculous boundaries
