What I am referencing is the fact that associating any fraternity with the word hazing will make everyone go up in arms, while NFL athletes have their hazing played out to the entire country.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before the players raced home in their expensive cars -- some already lined up on the edge of the parking lot for a quick getaway -- the rookies got a taste of traditional NFL hazing. Veteran receivers Steve Smith and Keyshawn Johnson helped to tape rookie receivers Daniel Smith, Lynzell Jackson, Jovon Bouknight, Taye Biddle and Justin McCullum to one goal post. They were then doused with water and sunscreen.
"They kind of snuck up on us. I thought we were clear and free to break camp -- nope," McCullum said.
While that was happening, defensive linemen Devan Long and Stanley McClover were being taped to another goal post, and James Anderson was strapped to a chair.
Veteran Chris Draft showed Anderson no mercy, giving him a Gatorade bath.
"I'm not exactly a hazing guy. I'm a supervisor hazer," Draft said. "Our guy James Anderson asked for more tape, like a good rookie should. We used regular tape, two-inch, stretch tape and some good pre-wrap. He also asked for some Gatorade, because he felt a little dehydrated. Now he smells like strawberries."
