Hazing, bullying, "horsing around;" it's all bad



Well, after any tirades I've had over Bountygate, it's only fair I rail on my own team for its idiocy. The video of the hazing of/"horsing around" with 2nd year cornerback Prince Amukamara is wrong for a number of reasons. The main thing that hurts most is the look on Amukamara's face after he gets thrown into the cold tub--a recurrence from his rookie year's hazing. It would kill me to see that look on anyone's face I care about, especially on my sweet little man, Liam. I can only imagine what it feels like for those care for Amukamara.

But clearly--and let's make no mistake about it--there was never a time when football was a gentleman’s game.

Nuff said, I think.
