Under absolutely no circumstance do I condone any form of hazing or initiation by clubs, groups or teams. I have no room for the arguments that claim these actions have always taken place or happen more than the public knows or say it's just "kids being kids." On every layer and in every situation, it is completely out of line and unacceptable.
Wikipedia says, "Hazing is a term used to describe various ritual and other activities involving harassment, abuse or humiliation used as a way of initiating a person into a group." The dictionary describes is as "to subject (freshmen, newcomers, etc.) to abusive or humiliating tricks and ridicule." No one will ever be able to convince me that any of this acceptable.
Defending individuals who initiate any form of hazing enables this type of behavior.
