What I was trying to say is that hazing is a rite of passage. Extreme hazing (ala FAMU) should not be allowed. I have not checked but there are deaths and serious injuries in almost all sports. Do you want to ban them also? Or are you just picking on football for some reason?
If you were to do as statistic study of the number of people that play football versus the 325 deaths from 1982 - 2008 (what happened to 2009 to the present?), you will find it is a very small percentage. I am not saying that even one death is worth it but in the statistical model it is very small.
