Hazing in sport (and with young men in general) is something that does need to be seriously looked at - let's not fool ourselves that this is a Penn State only issue (although in the context here it's even more despicable).
Junior hockey, college sports, high school sports programs, I think we've all heard of serious hazing issues across all of these levels. And it's not necessarily limited to just sports but any type of hierarchical organization with young men (firefighting and police services have had big issues too).
As a now older generation of men I think we do need to look at this more seriously because I feel like it's something that's kind of had a blind eye turned to it for a while.
