Though back in the news due to the firing of Northwestern football head coach Pat Fitzgerald, hazing goes on in far more locker rooms than is made public, said Natalie Graves, a sports social worker whose clients include hazing victims.
Attorney Anthony Romanucci, who represented student-athletes in hazing-related cases at Maine West High School's boys soccer program and the football programs at Lake Zurich and Plainfield Central high schools, said he saw the devastating effects of hazing in some of his clients. "I recommend having athletes sign a pledge, and if it is broken there being real consequences," said Graves, who consults with Division 1 college sports programs and has written a workbook for athletes on mental health in sports."They should have a preseason meeting with each program and teams to explain what will not be tolerated."
