The hazing scandal that has rocked the Northwestern football program continues to deepen with troubling allegations, including claims that some coaches were involved. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, members of his legal team and four former Northwestern football players made new allegations Wednesday during a press conference in Chicago.

“The abusive hazing was so entrenched in the Northwestern football culture that even some of our coaches took part in it,’’ Lloyd Yates, who played for the school from 2015 to 2017, said Wednesday. “The graphic, sexually intense behavior was well-known throughout the program.’’

    The still, vegetative and animate levels of nature are the only ones in a state of balance, because they have no free choice. They make no decisions as to whether they should behave one way or another, but they behave according to their inborn nature.

    We people, however, act according to our decisions that are higher than our inborn nature. We thus use these levels of nature—still, vegetative and animate, which are below our human level—egoistically, bending them however we wish for personal benefit.

    We thus destroy and empty the planet, plant life, animals, and eventually also people, due to the egoistic way we relate to each other and nature.

    The system we live in was set up so that we reach a state of mutual consideration, encouragement and support. That is the key to entering into a state of balance with nature.

    By acting contrarily, with calculations of self-benefit overriding those of benefiting each other and nature, we then knock ourselves out of balance with nature.

    Then, we experience this imbalance as suffering on personal, social and economic scales, and also as ecological blows, whether it be earthquakes, floods, wildfires, pandemics and several other phenomena that we call “natural disasters.”

    The more we head into the future without transforming our attitudes to each other and nature—from egoistic to altruistic—then the more we will experience our tightening interdependence negatively.

    However, if we start relating in a considerate, supportive and encouraging way to each other, then we will see how nature also relates positively to us. Accordingly, we will unlock a new balanced, harmonious and peaceful existence.

  3. The acts that were perpetrated on these student-athletes were in called for and Northwestern should be punished to the fullest. You drop your kids off at these colleges and you expect the best out of staff and the administration. May the hammer fall on to Northwestern.

  4. My only issue is the Attorney who's part of the Boule & a Puppet just like Al Sharpton & Jessie Jackson!
