He even allegedly congratulated the victim, welcomed him and asked him if it was all good.
That was reported to police by the schools principal Oct. 3, right after she learned of it and days after a group of varsity soccer players allegedly did the same thing to three 14-year-old players Sept. 27.
An attorney for two of the 14-year-olds said their teammates pulled down their underwear and sodomized them with fingers and sticks. .................(more)

I never heard of anything like this. Bizarre.
That said, we all used to watch Youngblood (with Rob Lowe), since we played hockey, and there was a hazing scene where they other team members shaved his pubic hair. But insertion of fingers and objects? Whaaaaaat?

What is wrong with people? This is totally disgusting and needs to be totally exposed. No pun intended.
