Should Hockey Keep The Fighting
May 3rd, 2009 | 
Author: Another positive is that it gives hockey a unique characteristic that other sports programs don’t have. You can’t see all out fights in basketball and football without players getting suspended for long periods of time. That and they rarely occur. Hockey has always embraced fighting, and claimed to be the toughest and most rugged of the four main sports. If the NHL got rid of fighting, the NFL would then take over as the roughest sport of the four. Even if no fight occur in a game, just the sheer fact that “it could happen” keeps some people entranced waiting for it to happen.
Some negatives are that parents watching hockey and see fights might not want their children playing such a violent sport. Another reason is that it slows the game down, the NHL is trying to speed up games by cutting out time stopping or slowing rules. Another is the image, some people may not watch hockey because it encourages fights and doesn’t try to stop them. They may consider it “barbaric” or “not civilized”.
