TUKWILA, Wash. -- Its now certain that Clint Dempseys 2016 season is over and his future beyond this year may be in doubt too.The Seattle Sounders announced Tuesday that Dempsey will miss the remainder of the season due to an irregular heartbeat that has sidelined him for more than a month.Seattle general manger Garth Lagerwey made the announcement ahead of Wednesdays home match against Chicago as the Sounders are contending for one of the final playoff spots in the Western Conference.We simply havent got to a point where we were comfortable that there was a realistic chance of Dempsey returning this year, Lagerwey said. As we said in the first round of comments, we are not comfortable putting any kind of pressure on this. His return to play is not important relative to his health, both short- and long-term. We feel by ruling him out today it puts us in the best position to get him back hopefully for the start of the 2017 season.Seattle announced on Aug. 26 that Dempsey, 33, would be out due to an irregular heartbeat revealed after a series of tests. Lagerwey said Dempsey had been undergoing tests for a couple of months before the issue was discovered.Since the diagnosis was announced, Dempsey underwent an unspecified procedure and has been receiving treatment in Seattle and outside the area. He briefly returned to training about two weeks ago but was gone all of last week.He was still undergoing an evaluation and thats why he had not been cleared to return to play, Lagerwey said. That evaluation is ongoing and again, we havent gotten to a point where we felt comfortable continuing. We just at this point want to remove any pressure for him to play because we have to get him healthy.The decision also rules out Dempsey from consideration for a pair of World Cup qualifying matches for the United States in November, including a showdown with Mexico on Nov. 11. Lagerwey said the club has been in regular contact with U.S. Soccer regarding Dempseys condition and treatment.Lagerwey reiterated there would be no further update about Dempseys health coming from the team until the 2017 preseason. Dempsey is under contract with the club through next season.The players are friends with Clint so they probably know more than I know. So I dont think the message was that big of a shock to anybody, interim Seattle coach Brian Schmetzer said. I think its just a sad story because hes an integral part of the team, an important part of the team.Dempsey is in his fourth season with the Sounders and has eight goals and two assists this year. Seattle is in seventh place in the Western Conference, three points behind Portland for the final playoff spot. But Seattle has two games in hand beginning with Wednesdays game against Chicago.Were playing well right now. Were getting some great results. Still have some work to do to get into the playoffs but weve begun scoring goals from multiple positions and multiple players and that is how you replace Clint Dempsey, Lagerwey said. We dont have another player on the roster, and there arent that many players in the league and the world that are at his level, so we need to replace his production collectively.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The Harvard mens soccer team has apologized for sexual comments made about members of the womens soccer team that led the Ivy League school to suspend the mens team for the rest of the season.The apology was posted Friday on the website of The Harvard Crimson student newspaper. Team members said their behavior was inexcusable and no woman deserves to be treated in that manner.The newspaper last month uncovered a 2012 document that rated the attractiveness of womens team recruits and included lewd comments about them. The mens team called the document its scouting report and circulated it online.A university investigation into the 2012 mens team found the comments were not isolated and continued through the current season. The team, which was in first place in the Ivy League, was suspended Thursday and will forfeit all remaining games.We sincerely apologize for the harm our words and actions have caused women everywhere, and especially our close friends on the womens soccer team, the apology said.We are deeply ashamed that it took a public revelation, a loss of trust and damaged friendshhips for us to fully grasp the gravity of our conduct, for which each member of our team takes full and equal responsibility, it said.dddddddddddd No woman deserves to be treated in this manner; not our mothers, our sisters, nor our peers. We apologize to them, and to all those who trusted us, supported us and believed in us.Harvard President Drew Faust, mens soccer coach Pieter Lehrer and womens soccer coach Chris Hamblin called the mens teams actions unacceptable, disrespectful and shocking.Players on the mens team said they will do anything possible to heal the pain they have caused.To do so, we must first confront the issues of sexism and misogyny within our own locker room, so that we can take up the call issued by the women of the Harvard Womens Soccer Class of 2016 to join them in combatting this sort of behavior, the apology said. Starting with ourselves, all players on this team now commit our efforts to spur a cultural change that goes beyond the scope of our own team. ' ' '
