With all the injuries and deaths due to hazing, you would think that this type of behavior would stop. However, there is a new report of hazing among the New Mexico women’s soccer team. Several members of the team claim that they were gruesomely hazed on Sunday night, and one of the victims ended up having to go to the emergency room according to reports from KOB 4 News.
One victim’s parent told KOB that their daughter said the team’s freshman players were forced to strip naked and drink dangerous amounts of alcohol. They were also allegedly “sprayed” with urine. At least one victim’s family has reportedly hired an attorney.
Students and fellow student-athletes seemed shocked and appalled by the behavior, referring to the women’s soccer players as a “really close-knit team.” New Mexico is one of six states with no laws prohibiting hazing. However, actions that result in someone ending up in an ER will not be taken for granted. The university hasn’t issued a statement regarding the allegations at this time.
