Baseball players at Woodruff High School in South Carolina will not be charged criminally for their hazing antics, but they will be ridiculed on a national sports blog.
State champs in 2005 and 2006, and runners-up in 2007, the Robertson Cardinals will be doing no such damage on the New Mexico football scene this year: Six of the team’s veterans pinned down six underclassmen at football camp in August and sodomized them with a broomstick (outside the shorts, but it still caused bleeding). The entire coaching staff was fired – one coach walked in while a sodomy was taking place, and simply said, ‘cut it out‘ before walking out of the room – and the team has been drubbed in its first three contests.

The Tennessee Titans, a franchise flush with tradition, apparently enjoy a good hazing. Most rookies run through the “dizzy bat race,†where they spin in circle with their head on a bat while getting doused with condiments, water and other assorted fluids. The injured get taped to the goalpost for similar treatment, while beat-writers snicker with false insider glee.

Criminal proceedings have long-since ended for the Minnesota Vikings players who were fingered in the party boat bacchanal that captivated the nation in the winter of 2005, but the final nail was hammered into the coffin this week by the boat operators who have thrown in the towel on their lawsuit.
“It has never been about chasing arrogant, immature, rich football players for their money,” Doyle said.
“Suing is a mindset as well as an economic endeavor,” Doyle told reporters. And Merritt and Daryl Geyen just aren’t the kind of people that sue people. They just don’t. And never during the last eight months of my representing them have we ever had a conversation of any kind about ‘How do we sue?”‘
Or maybe you attempt to sue, only to find out you don’t have a leg to stand on, and you back down. And now we go back to regularly scheduled programming of ignoring the Minnesota Vikings, who will struggle to win six games this year.
