To the University of New Brunswick and wider communities,

We are writing as faculty members in Gender and Women Studies, as well as members of the community, with deep sorrow, frustration, and outrage regarding recent events that can only be described as emblematic of rape culture across university campuses. Over the weekend, a homecoming banner reading “Drop-off Zone: Acadia Girlfriends” was hung on off-campus housing at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia. The language in the banner objectifies women and carries an implicit threat of violence and dehumanization. The CBC reports that there was another “more offensive” sign that was also displayed. This follows the story of the “Cornell 7,” broken by the student newspaper The Cornell Daily Sun on September 18th, 2026, in which seven male students allegedly gang-raped a woman for seven hours.

A moment during Jay-Z’s recent concert in Paris summed up where soccer sits in culture today

There was a moment during Jay-Z’s recent concert in Paris that, for me, pretty much summed up where football sits in culture today. There wasn’t a ball being kicked. There wasn’t a match being played. Jay-Z walked onto the stage at the Stade de France wearing a one-of-a-kind, black-and-white, football-inspired shirt — by Louis Vuitton, designed by Pharrell — with the number 30 on the back marking 30 years since Reasonable Doubt.
