It happened in NJ at least twice, team hazing, group rape with object.

I truly do not understand the motivation.

Correct, same deal a few years ago in a Maryland HS. They called in ‘brooming’, where they would hold down a football player and shove a broom up the rectum. Players said it was a tradition. I've been hazed in the military and hs sports, none of it involved sexual deviants.
