When I was in High School I did some time as (honest) a water boy. ALso helped move the play markers with the refs. I had no athletic ability but really wanted to get a varsity letter, so...
Anyway, while there was lots of teasing and stuff in the locker room and showers it was inconceivable that anyone would touch another boy vis a vis hazing. There were physical fights at times and things like that but stuff like we keep seeing of late was unheard of. I imagine that if anyone tried this kind of stunt they would've gotten the crap beaten out of them and been ostracized in the school, and certainly booted off the team. I guess it was a more innocent time BUT the coaching staffs and so on at these schools have to take responsibility for allowing it. Nothing in high school sports occurs in a vacuum. If anyone knows, everyone knows. Same for colleges and even the Olympics. If it happens, someone in power allowed it to happen, just like Sandusky in Penn State.
Maybe team sports should just be eliminated across the board, despite all the money it generates.
Something to think about...
