I know enough that he saved a lot of other kids the same humiliation and inadvertantly sacrificing his own career.
Here is a very good article about the incident and his potential, with a letter from Akim about the hazing. If you can't get a feel for the guy's character from it or see the potential he had...then I am sorry for those people.
