The United States Military Academy has temporarily disbanded the Army rugby team due to what was reported to be a "derogatory email chain that suggested a culture of disrespect towards women" (according to ABC news). I have no idea what the contents of the emails were, but before folks rush to judgement, please note the words ".....suggested a culture of disrespect.....". In any case, for now, there is no Army rugby team.

Jesus. Utah, now Army.

Is there a link... and could someone give me the background on the problem with Utah ?


thanks

Thank you.

So the University of Utah rugby team was put on two year's probation by the university for using the university's athletic logo without permission?

What kind of bizarro world are we in?

seemed like it was more like a player assualted a trainer, lotta drinking, and when suspended, they formed the club under another name and basically played under the UofU name...

BI Nation should be outraged at the Army rugby team.

BI posters would never tolerate a 'culture of disrepect'.

His team has 12 players plus Him.

Yes, I believe most here have had a deep respect and appreciation for each of the subjects in every "Hottie" thread ever posted on these forums.
