Picture this:
It's Super Bowl 45, and the Steelers are down in the 4th Quarter.. ..
A-Rod is about to toss another TD to increase the Packers' lead, ..
...but wait! ...
A Steelers' linebacker calls out Aaron before he can make the snap! ...The Referee whistle-stops play and both sides give the the Quarterback and the Linebacker a 10 yard berth for them to duke it out on live TV!
See the silliness of this? It would ruin the sport of football as we know it.
Qs:
• 1. The aforementioned was posed to see if others think it's downright neanderthal of the NHL to allow their guys to legally fight on the ice?
• 2. What is so good about fighting in a professional sport outside of the UFC or Boxing?
To be the devil's advocate:
• 3. Who would LIKE to see fighting in other pro leagues, be it NFL, NBA, etc?
sidenote: posing this exact Q in the NHL section is downright pointless because ALL hockey fans feed of of their bloodsport like rabid dogs in a dogfighting ring.
