I can say:

What's the difference between football and motorcycling?
What's the difference between football and paragliding?
I can probably think of a hundred more examples that fit the parameter of your query.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply, RichieLion. I'll try to answer your questions:
My original question (on this thread) asked about school football and hazing. I assumed it would be understood that we are talking about activities that are usually engaged in by students. Football is a school activity that is permitted and encouraged. Hazing, the "ritual" engaged in by students is usually forbidden. Anyway, to make a long story short, we are talking about student activities. Rock climbing, motorcycling, and paragliding are not usually school activities, as far as I am aware of.
