Sayreville War Memorial High School Football Team Alleged Hazing Ritual (Warning: Graphic Descriptions)
Quote:
It would start with a howling noise from a senior football player at Sayreville War Memorial High School, and then the locker room lights were abruptly shut off.
In the darkness, a freshman football player would be pinned to the locker-room floor, his arms and feet held down by multiple upperclassmen. Then, the victim would be lifted to his feet while a finger was forced into his rectum. Sometimes, the same finger was then shoved into the freshman player’s mouth. This disturbing hazing within the storied Sayreville football program, as told...by the parent of a player...happened almost every day in the locker room this fall...
The allegations...sparked a criminal investigation by local and county police, and prompted the cancellation of the remainder of the Sayreville football season this week by (the) superintendent of schools...Many Sayreville residents have expressed outrage over the cancellation...
The varsity team, nicknamed the Bombers, has made the playoffs in each of the past 20 seasons, and Sayreville has captured three state championships over the past four years, feeding nearby Rutgers University with a host of elite players...

A standing ovation to the superintendent for giving the football team the rest of the year off: the punishment fits the crime, focuses the fault on the perpetrators, and teaches them that what they choose to do can have far-reaching consequences. I don't see anything happening to the perpetrators legally unless there's a snitching epidemic. And here's hoping that the victims and their families don't end up getting torch-and-pitchforked out of town: "Boys will be boys, and it builds team spirit! When the seniors were freshman, THEY probably went through it and survived -- why couldn't he?"
Between this and the domestic violence that's been happening on the professional level in American football, I hope that aspiring football team owner Jon realizes that he may have dodged a bullet, LOL. Fappenings -- they're not just for hot starlets anymore!
