I'm wondering if this has more to do with the locker room culture than DeMott specifically. Tb1 and I went to wrestling school for a short time and there are lots of similarities to what was described in the article. Very much a politically incorrect madhouse fueled by testosterone-based dogma. You didn't complain about injuries or you were called out. You didn't complain about getting stiffed or you were a pussy. If you got exhausted and started vomiting, they would take digs about your fitness level. Lots of language that would be considered "hateful" in a traditional public setting. All of that was just normal.

With that being said though, the behavior of DeMott seems rather extreme in some of those cases, even within the context of the locker room environment.
