This link might point out some of the more obvious differences betwwen grown men participating in a sport versus hazing.

I am thinking it is about context. When I hang with my adult male friends my language is a little different than when I am around young ladies that I coach in tennis.
Ozzies wanting something to be done is not the same as hazing or the injuring of a college student athlete.
Wasn't it Cheney who threatened to kill another coach ?
