Another reporter tries to present sports hazing in a positive light–Dan Cotton with the Tenn. Titans. He also can’t spell. “Rookie hazing is a rite of passage in the National Football League. The Tennessee Titans took this tradition to a whole knew level.” https://247sports.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/Article/Titans-give-rookies-haircuts-as-part-of-rookie-hazing-120764461/

“If you’re not following Pro Bowl left tackle Taylor Lewan on Instagram, you’re simply missing out. Lewan had a couple of Instagram stories from the rookie hazing event that are priceless. Even the vets were not sparred. Lewan caught of video of wide receiver Michael Campanaro being a victim of the haircut crew.

Have to give the rookies credit. They seemed to take the hazing in stride.”
