A former Northwestern football player has pleaded guilty to the university for condoning hazing and bigotry. During a press conference in Chicago on Wednesday, Ramon Diaz, a former Wildcats offensive lineman, recalled "my experience playing football at Northwestern University haunted me until this day." Diaz claims he was just 17 years old in 2006 when upperclassmen shaved 'Cinco de Mayo' onto the back of his head as the entire football team watched. The holiday itself has a lot of meaning to me and my family, as well as the Latino community at large,' Diaz told The Associated Press ahead of Wednesday's press conference. 'I was mocked and mocked.'
