"Same could be said of Hockey"


Who says hockey is a sport? I consider is barely better, and I do mean barely, than professional wrestling with a puck.

Listen, soccer is blank verse. No beginning, no middle, no end, no episodes, and usually practically no score. It's fluid, with no pauses for reflection.

American Football is disciplined rhyming stanzas: poetry. It has chapters, verses, structure, exciting episodes, a beginning, a middle with a rest in it, an end. Its four quarters are like the seasons, so the game is like the year in brief. It teaches teamwork, specialization, and combat skills.

And it is American.
