Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith on how team leaders need to step up to prevent hazing and bullying in high schools.

Ozzie Smith said that young players today need to learn sportsmanship and to stop other players from bullying new and weaker players in initiations called hazing. “You have to use a little restraint and a little common sense too,” said Smith. “Some guys are never going to understand how not to take things too far. You’re always going to have those kind of people. But then you also have people around that are smart enough to say, “Hey, things are getting out of hand.”
