Dolphins Harrassment Study

[HPF Bob]

Jock confines tend to be bastions of physical humor and overt masculinity. Making fun of the weak and effeminate is a staple of their conversations and a subtle warning to anyone who might try to wimp out, homosexual or not. In a brutal sport like football, teammates need to know the guys they line up next to are not going to crack in stressful situations.

None of that is to excuse hazing or singling out weaklings for punishment but it's almost like asking players to play without helmets if they can't tease and heckle teammates, sometimes with profane and ribald humor. The problem with basing political correctness according to what the offended finds offensive is that the offended seem always eager to move the goalposts to the point of absurdity.
