Issues of bigotry on the football team arose late in spring 2013. On May 8, NBC broke the story that Chad Washington, CC '15 and defensive lineman, had been charged with aggravated harassment as a hate crime [1]. Allegedly, he and several football teammates shouted slurs at a 19-year-old Asian student and his friends, saying "You're an Asian pussy. Why don't you hit yourself you Asian pussy." When the Asian student protested, Washington said to him "You're an Asian pussy. Why don't you hit yourself you Asian pussy [2]. Alcohol was involved.
The day after NBC broke that news, WKCR compiled an Imgur album of racist, sexist, and homophobic tweets by several members of the football team, including a captain[3].
