Default Internal report cites ‘culture of sexual entitlement’ among some BU hockey players

A Boston University task force has concluded that the men’s hockey team is detached from the general campus and that a “culture of sexual entitlement” exists among some players, a mindset the college says contributed to two alleged sexual assaults on campus during the past season.

In unusually blunt fashion, the panel found that the university, from administrators to the coaching staff, did not adequately oversee the team, allowing the culture to flourish.

Oversight of the players was too often left to the coaching staff, the panel concluded, instead of university administrators. “The coaches became their own keepers,” Morrison said. “These should be university issues.”

I cant decide if this report is unique in the way it is addressing systemic issues or if it is more of the same.

While there is recognition of "entitlement" on a sports teams, of how coaches are not the best supervisors of their players behavior, and how the culture of sports coupled with alcohol and sex can be problematic, it really side steps the misogyny and sexism behind the entire thing.
