    I know a lot of hockey fans would be mad at me, but I would ban hockey fights. I’m not really a sports guy, but I can enjoy hockey and its socially useful to follow at least one sport. But hockey fights just make my eyes roll.

      The justification I’ve heard is that these guys have knives on their feet. If you didn’t have an approved fight process, you’d have unapproved fights that turn out way worse for the participants.

      I don’t like fights either. If I wanted to see that, I would watch boxing. But outside NHL/north america they are very rare
