Now I am not a big fan of hazing, especially in large groups. Other than lack of interest, a mild case of heterosexuality, and a somewhat developed sense of self worth, it's probably the main reason I didn't pledge a fraternity. I also don't think that it's good when young adults are injured, maimed or killed due to degrading outdated rituals. With all of this being fully stated and understood, I can't see anything wrong with this...
What do I see in these pictures of the Northwestern girls' soccer team? Camaraderie, team work, strength training, spirit building. What about the blindfold you say? Well how do you know that this isn't a trust event where her teammates catch her as she falls back? Exactly. And the tape in picture 4? Tape is necessary for college athletes people, it is essential for their physical health. Do you want them to sprain ankles and grow up with never fully healed cankles? Good luck finding a job that pays only 75% of what a man would get in the same position with unattractive legs. Also, soccer players aren't supposed to use their hands!! This is just training this obviously grabby girl to only use her feet! I am outraged that a country would attempt to take away these rights from these young women, rights guaranteed by Title IX. So if you want these fine women to not play soccer and not develop the skills and maintain the physical attributes that would ensure them potentially somewhat-fulfilling mildly-gainful employment later in their lives, go ahead, cancel their season. Then hopefully they'll appear in Playboy.
