LAS VEGAS, N.M.—Coaches at Robertson High School failed to adequately supervise boys at a football camp last month or look into allegations of sexual assault by other players, allowing more boys to fall victim, according to a report from district officials. After the allegations surfaced, six football players were suspended 10 days for violating the district's anti-bullying policy. Five subsequently were suspended through the end of the year; a sixth was expelled.

State police separately issued a 102-page report last week on the hazing, which involved allegations of sodomy with a broomstick. The police report said younger players were told to "take it like a man" and that their attackers ignored their pleas to stop.

Oh, puh-leeze. Can we once and for all put an end to the wussification of youth sports? "Boo hoo, they were hazing me. Waa waa they shoved a broomstick up my ass." What ever happened to letting boys be boys so they can grow up to be men? Back in the day, this sort of thing wasn't frowned upon, it was encouraged. Kids football has a long tradition of kids shoving common household products up each other's butts. It helps sift out the pretenders from the kids who are really serious about football. When Mike Ditka was trying out for his school team, the seniors crammed a mop up his sphincter, sponge first. Dick Butkus made the varsity as a freshman and played the entire season with Hoover upright lodged in his rectum. How are the prissy little momma's boys at Roberston supposed to handle the backside blitz if they can't deal with a little broom handle in the butt? If you can't "take it like a man" your crosstown rivals aren't going to listen to your "pleas to stop" either, panty waist. Las Vegas, N.M. is looking for winners. If you can't take it, go try out for field hockey.
