Officially, hazing is illegal and unwelcome just about everywhere you turn—but it continues as an open secret in far too many fraternities, sports teams, and other institutions. The latest revelations from Northwestern University’s football team are a stark reminder that we have a long way to go to uproot the culture of hazing for good. Anti-gender violence activist and documentarian Byron Hurt joins Edge of Sports for a timely discussion on the harm hazing does and how we can stop it. Dr. Neftalie Williams joins us in our Ask A Sports Scholar segment to discuss the uniqueness and global influence of skateboarding.

Thank you for this interview. Thank you for this coverage. This is exactly the umbrella of why as a parent I don't want to encourage my child to do athletics if possible. They can be sporty, outside of a school team. Because…I'm not sending them to school to be traumatized. I'm sending them to school to expand their understanding of life and the world. ❤❤❤
How ironic that the wooden paddles are in the background of the hazing interview…
But but … they’re Christian
It's kinda weird that he has fraternity paddles behind him in his interview shot…
Start talking about what drives sadistic domination and then maybe you could approach ending its expression in every corner of society. Interesting that “Greek life” was mentioned, as ancient Greek societies were child-raping enslavers, too. 😕
Caucasian catnip, i agree with the tenor of what you are saying but that phrase is hella dumb
CAUCASIAN CATNIP ❤❤❤
I always enjoyed hazing
