Speak for yourself. You really have no clue.
I tried to get interested in Hockey, my first game a about 6 years ago a watched in disbelief as one player hit another hard in the face with his stick. The player was knoked out cold from the brutal hit.
As the play continued to go down the ice no one noticed the played on mid-ice with a lot of blood flowing on to the ice, a stark contrast. The offending player was not obsderved by the ref. They had to take the injured player off the ice on a streacher as he was still out cold.
I was a beginner to hockey and to this day I have not spent one more dime on the game.
It is a game played by mindless thugs, who misses what sports are all about.
If they banned the game no one would miss it.

Perhaps if you had seen more than one game, you would have a less ignorant view of hockey. Or perhaps you take the same jaundiced view of basketball, football (ha!), and baseball. To say nothing of rugby and soccer. Golf can be quite gentlemanly but I warn you that sometimes spectators get hit with the ball. Obviously boxing would be abhorrent to you.
I recommend checking out a college hockey game if there's one in your area.
Cheap shots happen in all sports, and sometimes the refs don't notice. Condemning the entire sport because of one cheapshot is the true mindlessness.
Hockey has plenty of tales of what sports is all about. How about a guy coming back with a broken ankle after instructing the medic to just tape it tight and scoring the Cup winning goal, how about the handshake at the end of every playoff series, how about playing in the playoffs with the only compensation being the possibility of winning a championship? Aren't those fine shining examples of what sports is about.
There's thugs in every sport, get over it or aknowledge the universal reality.
This mindless thug enjoys playing the game every weekend.
Why don't you take a short walk off a long FR pier? Or better yet just keep your BS to yourself.
