I think there's a couple things someone should point out to Mr. Ross.
1. Back in his day, they barely knew what a concussion was, let alone what the long term effects of them were.
2. It is no longer his day. Times change. Some things that were perfectly alright in his day, are no longer cool. Hazing is one of those things that are going the way of prohibition. There's a way to separate the wheat from the chaff, but sadistic abuse is not an acceptable way to do so.
And I'm not even one of those folks who are opposed to roughing folks up to get a point across. I had no problem with what Holly did to Capotelli. But there's a difference between stretching someone or roughing someone up and what Laughing Man was doing. I'm pretty sure Hiro Matsuda wasn't slapping his students on their broken leg.
