Ashton Waller

At 20 years old, most people are still trying to figure out what the hell life is and what they’re supposed to do with it. Yet that’s certainly not the case for Miss COED 2017 semifinalist, Ashton Waller.

The 20 year old sophomore at Florida State University has already set more goals than most people have in their lifetime. Ashton is studying Biology and Psychology and minoring in Chemistry, Mathematics, German, and Business. YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT. She’s smart AF. Not only is she in multiple honor societies, but she also wants to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and get into medical school after graduation. Plus, while most people are heading to Miami or Cancun for Spring Break, she wants to explore the Raja Ampat Islands in Indonesia. In case anyone was wondering, I’ve apparently done nothing with my life. 

Get to know more about Ashton below, and be sure to check back daily as we get to know each of our Miss COED 2017 conference finalists a bit better.


If you could travel anywhere in the world for Spring Break, where would you go?

If I could travel anywhere in the world for Spring Break, it would be to the Raja Ampat Islands in Indonesia. The islands alone are breathtaking. It would take several dozens of trips to visit every beautiful site there is to see. There are ancient artwork in the caves, and limestone cliffs. There is a green clothed rock that overlooks the island and the jaw-dropping crystal blue sea. In addition to the island, the ocean is incredible. One of my favorite hobbies is scuba diving. The Raja Ampat Islands is the best place in the world to scuba dive.

Name one thing on your bucket list.

One task on my bucket list is hiking Mount Kilimanjaro. When I finish with school, every year I plan to take an adventure and mark something off my bucket list. This one in particular is my favorite because it is the world’s tallest walkable mountain, and it is the highest mountain in Africa. You go through five different climate zones to reach the top. There are many precautions you have to take in order to climb the mountain and maintain good health. The change in altitude makes in difficult for someone to climb without prior preparation. 

Cliché, but where do you see yourself in five years? Ready, set, go!

In five years, I intend to be be working on my residency in medical school. My goal is to attend Vanderbilt University School of Medicine after I complete my undergraduate at Florida State University. I love Nashville and just Tennessee in general. I am not a huge fan of cities, and even though Nashville is a city, it still has a country feel to it.

Donald Trump’s spokesmen just confirmed that the United States President-elect will attend this weekend’s Army-Navy college football game in Baltimore, Maryland. CampusSports.net reports that this will be the first time a POTUS or Presdident-elect will appear at the Army-Navy game since Barack Obama once famously attended the game and when asked if he’d like a beer, turned it down saying something along the lines of, “If these cadets can’t have a drink, then I won’t either.”

President-elect Donald Trump will sit on the Army side for one-half and then the Navy side for the other.

You know who else is going to be at the Army-Navy game? ESPN CollegeGameDay. Maybe they’ll find a way to get Trump to be their special guest picker. Hopefully the focus of this game will remain the Army-Navy college football players, although we doubt very much that’s going to happen.

As if the game wasn’t going to be covered in enough security, this is probably going to make the surrounding area a logistical nightmare to navigate. Speaking of nightmares, Army is on a 14-game winning streak against Navy. Army’s last win against Navy was in 2001 in Philadelphia.

Both of these two are in my esteemed top 10 favorite famous people, so I’m all in on this.

Adapted from Dave Eggers’ 2013 best-selling sci-fi novel of the same name, Mae Holland (Watson), a recent college grad, gets a job at The Circle, a tech company laden with organic snacks, ping-pong tables, and nerdy humor. But The Circle’s commitment to transparency—the company’s motto is “Secrets are Lies”—masks the ambitions of its founders (including Bailey, played by Tom Hanks) for a complete surveillance state. It’s up to Mae and her co-worker Kalden (John Boyega) to navigate just what the internet can do. John Boyega, Karen Gillan, and Patton Oswalt co-star in the film.

The Circle hits theaters April 28, 2017. The Circle is produced by Gary Goetzman and Hanks for Playtone, Anthony Bregman for Likely Story and Ponsoldt.  The film was fully financed by Image Nation Abu Dhabi and is presented by Image Nation in association with Parkes-MacDonald Productions.

These Two Guys Who Pulled A Knife At A Frat Party Are Lucky They Aren’t Dead

Bold move by these two backwoods clowns for thinking they could pull a knife on a fraternity. If you’re trying to come at a squad of thirty-some dudes in their twenties, you better come with a gun, because that knife ain’t helping. You know how many weapons there are in a frat house? You think they’re scared of one little knife? PLEASE. Get a grip or an adult weapon or go the f*ck home.

Two men, Levi G Drouillard, 27, and Kenneth R Mitchell, 35, are facing charges after police say they tried to crash a fraternity party at Indiana University Bloomington Saturday.

Via Fox:

Officers say fraternity brothers at Sigma Chi wouldn’t let them inside, because they weren’t members. That’s when police say Drouillard began shoving, attempting to punch several residents and pulled a knife.

The fraternity brothers secured themselves behind their door. Police say the suspects then broke a basement window and entered the house. During an interview with police, Drouillard said he intended to get back inside to make a point to the fraternity brothers and continue fighting them.

Students called police and also started a group chat on their phones to keep each other updated on the suspects’ movements. IUPD reported to the scene and arrested Drouillard and Mitchell around 12:30 A.M. Police say a knife was found in Drouillard’s coat pocket.

Let me tell you something right now: had this been my fraternity, dude would have caught multiple bat swings to the dome. Yeah, granted, Rutgers New Brunswick is a little more rough and tumble than bumblestickfuck Indiana, but these Sigma Chi bros gotta step up their defensive strategies. You gotta defend your turf, boys.

1994 Heisman Trophy Winner Rashaan Salaam Has Died At The Young Age Of 42

rashaan salaam dead at 42

When the Heisman Trophy winners gather on Saturday night to welcome a new exceptional college football player into their exclusive fraternity, there will be a void left by the death on Monday night of 1994 winner Rashaan Salaam. The former University of Colorado standout was only 42.

Salaam was found dead Monday night at a park in Boulder, Colorado, according to a USA Today report citing Boulder police spokeswoman said. Additionally, the USA today report says Salaam’s mom told the paper that the police suspect the death was a suicide after finding a note.

In his Junior season in 1994, Salaam had one of the best seasons by a running back in college football history, become only the fourth rusher to eclipse 2,000 rushing yards. He accumulated a total of 2,055 yards and 24 touchdowns, leading the Buffaloes to a 11-1 record. That season he became the first ever practicing Muslim to win the Heisman Trophy.

After winning the Heisman Trophy, Salaam decided to forgo his senior season in college to enter the 1995 NFL draft. He was chosen with the 21st pick in the first round by the Chicago Bears. After rushing for 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns in his rookie season, issues with injuries, fumbles, and marijuana use derailed his Bears career. After 3 seasons with Chicago, he was released in 1997. He then played the 1999 season for the Cleveland Browns.

Tufts University Shuts Down All Fraternities After Pledge Alleges He Was Forced To Watch Sex Acts

Tufts University Ben Kesslen

Tufts University has suspended all Greek Life on campus after an investigation into hazing allegations that occurred earlier this fall. The allegations came from Tufts junior year student Ben Kesslen, an openly gay male student at Tufts, who wrote in a Tufts Observer Op-Ed entitled “Abolish Fraternities” that in January 2015, he was forced to watch sex acts between men and women in the basement of the fraternity he was pledging. Kesslen states that he was not allowed to leave the room it was occurring in, nor was he able to talk about what happened afterward, even once he dropped out of the fraternity the next day.

The article “Abolish Fraternities” rightfully stirred up a ton of controversy among Tufts administration and students. In addition to the allegations of sex acts, Kesslen also named in an earlier version of the article (which has since been redacted) a fraternity he believed had been actively protecting a fraternity member they knew was guilty of sexual assault. It was only until after a response to “Abolish Fraternities” was penned by the president of that fraternity believed to be protecting their own member, that the school and the police had asked the fraternity not to take any action against the accused. Here the president describes the excruciating “waiting game” they had to play at the request of Tufts University:

On several occasions, we asked why it was taking so long to remove the individual from campus and if we could do something to help. Again, the administration ordered us not to act and to keep all information about the assault confidential to the small group of reporters within our organization. Despite the consistent message from the administration, we did everything possible to keep the assaulter away from our social events and away from our organization [source].

And now, just like that, fraternity life at Tufts University is gone for the foreseeable future. What happened? Honestly, a ton of poor decisions. Where should we start?

First of all, I don’t think that the school should blame one person in particular for closing down Greek Life. But that’s what’s happening.

Should Ben Kesslen have tried to join the fraternity? Absolutely. You should always try new things, that’s what college is for. But I 100% put the burden and blame on the fraternity that accepted him as a brother. I use the term “blame” because (if the allegations are true) of the fact that you’re putting Ben in an extremely uncomfortable situation the moment you accepted him. If you want to have pledging where dudes are eating out chicks on a basement mattress (which sounds in no way fun), then don’t accept Ben. Be sh*tty people in the privacy of your own kind. As long as everything is consensual, why is there a problem?

But having Ben around as the token gay guy to make you feel good about yourself is not progress. Blackball him and move on with your lives. Be friends with Ben, or other gay or trans people outside your fraternity.

But nope. This fraternity accepted Ben, a guy who uses terms like “white cis females” to define his friends, who opens up Op-Ed articles with actual trigger warnings, and who some members of the fraternity must have known would cause some friction. Again, the moment that they chose to accept Ben into their fraternity should have been the same moment that they actually made progress towards removing traditions like the “oral sex mattress bonanza” night. Instead, a few upperclassmen probably thought it’d be funny to make the gay kid watch some chicks go at it, then some guys have at it with the girls.

But now the only thing these fraternity members are watching getting f*cked is themselves. Spring recruitment for fraternities and sororities has been suspended. All Greek Life social activities at Tufts have been suspended.

The natural response we’ve been reading on a lot of forums is blaming Ben for being a narc or whatever. That’s not fair. Don’t blame Ben. Blame the Greek Life system and the idiots who’ve been left to run it.

Finally, I just want to end this article on a somewhat light note. I’ve seen for myself and heard that Tufts students are artsy and weird, but actively bringing women into a basement to eat them out in front of pledges is like the strangest thing I’ve ever heard of in my life. That is not frat at all.

LeBron James Is Yet Another Athlete Refusing To Sleep In A Building With Trump’s Name On It

LeBron James Trump Hotels

LeBron James and some other members of the Cleveland Cavaliers want to stay far away from anything associated with Donald Trump. After the Cavs face off against the Knicks this Wednesday night, LeBron James won’t be staying in the Trump SoHo hotel in lower Manhattan. James and some other members of the Cavs will look for another hotel to spend the night in the “city that never sleeps.” James and quite a few of his cohorts have made statements condemning and disavowing Trump. If they win an NBA championship again, these players plan to opt out of visiting the White House.

It looks like Lebron James and the Cavs won’t be the only NBA superstars to refuse stepping foot into a Trump hotel. ESPN.com has reported that at least three other teams will kill their deals with the orange-toned troll and stop sending their players to Trump-branded hotels. These teams are the Milwaukee Bucks, the Memphis Grizzlies, and the Dallas Mavericks. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers still have a partnership with Trump’s SoHo hotel; some players will spend the night under the roof of Trump’s 42-story skyscraper. James and some of his fellow Cavs are pretty peeved at Trump.

James endorsed Hillary Clinton for president about a month before she was defeated by The Donald. And since the November 8th election, there have been plenty of Cavaliers who showed their displeasure at the outcome. One Cavs player named Richard Jefferson suggested on his Snapchat that many NBA players will try to get out of visiting Trump at the White House, claiming “schedule conflicts.” Many don’t want to share the same room as the guy, much less sleep in one of his luxury hotels.

Cleveland’s reserve guard Iman Shumpert also vowed that if the Cavs win a second consecutive season, he will not visit Trump’s White House. “I understand people’s stance on Trump,” said Shumpert. “I can’t get caught up in the racial, sexist bullsh*t he’s got going on. That’s his personal thing, ya dig? But I just don’t think he can make anything shake like that. He not finna start no civil war out here. I do think he’s crazy — straight-up. I think he did that stuff to get people to think he’s willing to shake it up. But did I vote for him? No. The other stuff that comes with him, I can’t get with. But now that he’s here, I’m not finna drag my feet. I gotta work here, at least until the off-season, if I wanna go get a crib in the islands.”

LeBron is also very displeased with Trump’s lewd “locker-room talk.” There was the infamous leaked audio tape of The Donald and reporter Billy Bush inside a bus, during which Trump brags about his ways with women, which some have called vulgar and harmful toward females. Trump obviously grabbed people the wrong way with this one. “What is locker room talk to me? It’s not what that guy said. We don’t disrespect women in no shape or fashion in our locker rooms. That never comes up,” James said in October. “I’ve got a mother-in-law, my mom, a wife, and a daughter and those conversations just don’t go on in our locker room.”

Clearly there are quite a few Cavs who are very vocal about their displeasure in regards to the United States President-elect Donald Trump. Now, three NBA teams are looking to end their business relationships with Trump-brand hotels. It looks like Trump’s trolling tactics is creating business for his competition. I guess that can be looked at as a positive. Maybe LeBron will check into a Hilton?


Was It A Coincidence That Klay Thompson Went Off For 60 The Same Day A COED Writer Called Him A Narc?

Yesterday afternoon Eric Italiano, my co-worker at COED, posted a scathing article accusing Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson of being a Narc.

klay narc

Just hours later Klay went off for a career-high 60 points in just 29 minutes before sitting out the fourth quarter during the Warriors rout of the Pacers.

Being called a Narc is a stinging accusation for any player in the NBA, a league in which Jay Williams estimates 80% of the players smoke marijuana. So I honestly can’t believe that it was a coincidence that Klay reached his absolute peak just hours after this article was published.

Here’s an excerpt of Eric’s article, which made the accusation that Klay was a Narc based on his comments about Steve Kerr’s admission to trying marijuana for medical reasons:


Now, Thompson is definitely one of the NBA’s most enigmatic stars. He’s a guy who looks like an alien, and nails threes like a robot. But Klay Thompson is definitely a bro on the down-low, as evidenced by his post-championship Las Vegas twerkfest and the time he casually swigged a beer during a postgame interview.

And while those comments do come off as somewhat Narc-like, Thompson himself was arrested for for marijuana possession back in March 2011 while he played for Washington State. So though you could argue that fact makes him a hypocrite, I’d bet that experience made him turn sour on weed and made him want to keep others from making the same mistake. While Eric’s article was obviously in jest, I bet if Klay read he defintely would not appreciate the Narc label.

So the question is did Klay read Eric’s COED article? Considering he’s right in our target demographic, a 26-year-old college-educated male with an interest in sports,  there’s certainly a chance he stumbled across it. Or, more likely, that someone in his circle passed it along. And if he did, that’s the type of accusation that could inspire a laid-back dude like Klay to go Incredible Hulk on the Indiana Pacers.

So basically, if your a Warriors fan trying to figure out how to bring out the best of the mercurial Klay Thompson, I think we’ve finally cracked the code.  Get my co-worker Eric Italiano to write more devastating hot takes about him during the NBA Finals this year, and you won’t have to worry blowing a 3-1 lead again.

Alt-Right Nazi Gives Speech At Texas A&M, Students Protest All Night

Protesters clashed with police as white nationalist Richard Spencer took to the stage at Texas A&M University on Tuesday night. Protesters were confronted by law enforcement outside of the student center during Spencer’s speech on white supremacy, the head of the far-right think-tank, The National Policy Institute.

“At the end of the day, America belongs to white men,” Spencer said to the 400 people at the event, which was not sanctioned by the school.

Via The Daily Mail:

Videos and images on social media showed riot police moving protesters from the Memorial Student Center as Spencer spoke.

Texas A&M Police arrested two non-students during the event as tensions rose, but they insisted the event was ‘peaceful’.

Spencer was disowned by his elite Texas prep school last month when he was caught on camera saying ‘hail Trump’ as the crowd flashed him a Nazi salute.

Prior to speaking at Texas A&M, Spencer spoke with CNN and claimed that he is not a white supremacist, despite the fact that he speaks of a Western civilization that “only white people can support.” Spencer told CNN that the university’s reaction to his speaking “shows the power of the alt-right and the power of our ideas.”

Total Bobby Shmurda move, am I right? If you don’t remember, an upcoming rapper by the name of Bobby Shmurda released a BANGER of a track called ‘Hot N*gga’, wherein he essentially lists all of the crimes he and his buddies have committed. Lo and behold, , New York City Police arrested Shmurda (real last name, Pollard) and charged him with conspiracy to commit murder, possession of weapons, and reckless endangerment, all thanks to his song.

Shmurda literally f*cked himself and is now serving seven years in prison.

Looks like these Grade A jackasses didn’t learn from Shmurda’s mistakes, as they thought posting a video of themselves toting a bunch of guns was a good idea.

via The Daily Mail:

Two men were arrested in Huntsville, Alabama at 5:00 A.M. Tuesday after police were sent a gunfight-themed mannequin challenge video that was posted on Facebook in November. The resulting investigation saw cops bringing in the men on gun and drug charges, as well as finding four guns, body armor, packs of marijuana and ammo, WHNT reported.

The video, which shows 19 people – most with guns – posing in a freeze-framed ‘shootout’, was posted on the Facebook profile of Hailey Nichols on November 9. It has since received more than four million views.

Among those viewers were Madison County Sheriff’s Office investigators, who were sent the video by a concerned citizen.

This right here people, this is as dumb as it gets. Bane of existence right here.

Looking Back At The Attack At Pearl Harbor For “Pearl Harbor Remembrance” Day

Pearl Harbor Rememberance Day

Today is December 7, 2016, which is exactly 75 years after the attack on Pearl Harbor, known as “the day that will live in infamy.” At the time of the attack by the Japanese Navy, Hawaii wasn’t yet a state but it was the home of the US Pacific Fleet. The idea behind the attack was that the Imperial Japanese Navy wanted to cripple the US Navy before they’d even have a chance to stop the Japanese from advancing into the Pacific. Admiral Yamamoto decided that the best way to do this would be to attack Pearl Harbor, the base of the US Pacific Fleet and, more importantly, the three extremely important American aircraft carriers which could make or break any meeting of the two naval powers.

Fortunately for the United States, the three aircraft carriers were actually away on patrol, but the rest of the Pacific Fleet was hit by a deadly combination of Japanese bombers, submarines, and kamikaze pilots. A total of 2,403 American lives were lost that day, some stationed onboard their ships, and most onboard the USS Arizona. The Arizona was hit by four armor-piercing bombs, one of which breached the powder magazine, causing the entire thing to explode. A total of 1,177 seamen died on the Arizona that day.

Following the attack, Congress officially declared December 7 as “Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.” Although it’s not a federal holiday, it’s a day that the United States will never, and should never, forget. If you haven’t read up on the actual attack, it’s a fascinating piece of history.

Even just reading through the Pearl Harbor Attack Wikipedia page, you’ll learn a lot about the state of the world, some of the lucky and unlucky breaks the United States got during the attack, and why the Imperial Japanese Navy had no other choice but to attack Pearl Harbor. But if you’re looking for photos and pictures of the scene, check those out below.

Samsung Galaxy S8: Specs, New Features & Must-See Rumors

Galaxy S8 Specs

The golden moment of charging your phone while listening to music could very well become a sad, nostalgic memory. Tech blog Sammobile has reported an exclusive confirmation that the Samsung S8 will remove the standard 3.5 mm headphone jack. Like it or not, if Samsung takes up this Apple introduced standard then this could be the future for smartphones everywhere. Samsung’s last big modification was a non-removable battery for the S6 and if memory serves, that change didn’t go over well.

Thankfully, the new info doesn’t stop at “no phone jack” and it details more inclusions than eliminations. We’ll keep the updates coming until the big day in February when we find out the exact future for Samsung phones.


Galaxy S8 Specs

Speculation is wild about 4k display for the S8 and if this is true, it wouldn’t make S8 the first smartphone with the popular feature. Sony’s Xperia Z5 Premium already owns the title and has received above average reviews for overall performance. So if Sony can do it why not Samsung? It seems like a smart move, especially if they want to optimize compatibility with Samsung’s Gear VR.


Galaxy S8 Features & Functions

Say goodbye to the dual camera and home button and say hello to a bigger user interface and finger print scanner. It’s safe to assume these deductions were made for optimal performance of these newer features.

A USB-type c port and speakers are among the list of bundled accessories. This means that charging and listening to music (through headphones compatible with type c port) cannot function together. As for the speakers, no dimensions have been specified.


Galaxy S8 Release Date

The Samsung S8 will make its public eye debut in 2017 during the Mobile World Congress. Reports say the S8 will likely hit the market within the month of March.


Galaxy S8 Price

No details yet on an official price but there’s no harm in an estimate. The Samsung S7 list price is $670 while the Samsung S7 Edge goes for $780. This should spell out the price to be over the $500 range and also urge consumers and fans to seriously start saving up.

I Won’t Be Watching The First Scene From ‘Rogue One,’ But You Can

Rogue One Opening Scene

I am a Star Wars fan, nerd, or whatever else you want to call it. I watch the trailers at a minimum of three or four times right after they’re released. I read the Star Wars subreddit. Shoot, I do it all, man. But one thing I will not do is watch the newly released first scene from Rogue One. That’s just not something I want to do. But if checking out a fifteen-second clip of the opening scene is something that floats your landspeeder then by all means, have at it.

I’m not really too sure why Disney’s so keen on releasing all of these clips, considering how hyped everyone is, but that’s the world that we’re living in. Maybe the reason I can watch a trailer and not a clip is because the trailers are so cut up that I hope nothing is going to be ruined.

Anyways, the trailer is below. I’ll be waiting for December 15, at which point I’ll be super-excited.

Here Is Every Single Person To Ever Win The Heisman Trophy

Heisman Trophy Winners

The Heisman Trophy is one of the most prestigious, if not the most prestigious award, in all of college sports. It is awarded each year to the most outstanding player in all of college football and serves as a symbol of greatness. The award was created back in 1935 in New York City at the Downtown Athletic Club by John Heisman to recognize “the most valuable college football player east of the Mississippi.”

Since the first Heisman was awarded to University of Chicago halfback Jay Berwanger, players from 39 different schools across the country have won the award, with Notre Dame and Ohio State both producing seven Heisman winners, which is more than any other school. Speaking of the Buckeyes, Ohio State has the only winner of multiple Heismans in running back Archie Griffin, when he won the award in both 1974 and 1975. Let’s take a look and see a complete list of the winners:

*Reggie Bush voluntarily forfeited his Heisman Trophy due to violating NCAA policies when he and his family accepted gifts from sports agent Lloyd Lake. On most lists of the Heisman winners, Bush isn’t included because of the violations, but I personally don’t give a damn about that. He was arguably the best college football player I’ve watched in my lifetime, and I don’t see how accepting gifts should tarnish that. Yes, it’s against NCAA policies, but I don’t think it gave me any sort of competitive edge, and because of that, I still consider him a Heisman winner.

If Photos Like This One Of Hofstra Fraternity’s Hazing Are Leaked, You’re Screwed

Hofstra Hazing Sigma Pi Photos

The Hofstra Chronicle

Hofstra University‘s Sigma Pi fraternity is in deep, deep doodoo after pictures of alleged hazing rituals featuring swastikas, dog cages, and hot sauce were published in The Hofstra Chronicle. It’s very important to note that these photos haven’t been vetted by anyone but The Chronicle, although it does need to be said that the Grand Council of Sigma Pi Fraternity International did revoke this Hofstra chapter on March 1, 2016. Since that date, The Chronicle claims they’ve been investigating the cause of what happened. These photos are just part of what they’ve found.

According to The Chronicle, Sigma Pi International received an email from student and former Sigma Pi pledge Syed Ali John Mehdi containing photos, video, and a brief description of the “extreme hazing” that Syed said he had to go through. That email was sent on March 1, 2016. On March 2, 2016, the fraternity got an email of their own, telling them that their charter had been revoked.

Mehdi alleges that during the Fall 2014, Spring 2015 and Fall 2015 there was a culture of hazing that involved things like ghost pepper hot sauce poured on the body of pledges, being forced into dog cages while other pledges recited historical information, and being forced to do “bows & toes” on bottle caps. The videos included in Mehdi’s emails are said to depict pledges being forced to drink milk until they vomit.

As for what happened to Mehdi, he was actually expelled from Hofstra later that year after being found responsible of “Sexual Assault_Non-Consensual Sexual Contact” by a Hofstra Admin Board for allegedly “engaging in sexual touching of the complainant in this matter by pushing [his] groin against her buttocks while dancing, without her affirmative consent.”

Ironically enough, the eight students still attending Hofstra that were pledging Sigma Pi before the fraternity was kicked off, have confirmed that they’re now joining AEPi–a historically Jewish fraternity. The irony is that you can see a swastika clear as day in the photo above.

And as for what you see below? Well that’s the kind of hazing that should never be photographed ever. So a very, very special shoutout to the idiots who thought it’d be a good idea to film their friends in dog cages and hot sauce.

Real Madrid, the defending champions, will host Borussia Dortmund during the Champions League on Wednesday in what is probably going to be the best game of the final group stage matchday. While both clubs have guaranteed their passage into the knockout stages already, they’re still vying for the top spot in the group.

Real Madrid will be without Gareth Bale, though they could be bolstered by the return of  Álvaro Morata and Toni Kroos back following injury spells. Real haven’t lost a competitive match since they faced Wolfsburg in the quarterfinals of last season’s Champions League.

For Dortmund, their starting goalkeeper Roman Bürki is unavailable after undergoing hand surgery. The last time Dortmund visited the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, was during the quarterfinals of the Champions League in 2014, in which they suffered a 3-0 defeat.

Although both teams are already through to the knockout round, both have a lot to play for as they are fighting for a higher seed. Watching two of the best teams in the world is always a treat, so make sure you find out how to live stream the Champions League action between Dortmund and Real below!
