ESPN does the same thing. They always shows hazing in NFL camps. Last year they they visited the Washington Redskins camp and they had footage of the rookie QB taped to the goal posts in his boxers.

So, here is (I think) a legitimate question.
Is it hazing if you're being paid a gazillion dollars a year to be the butt of some jokes?
Somehow it seems different in my addled brain.
Non-professional sports are something else, again. And, with only a few exceptions, that is wrongly overlooked.
