Is fighting actually a part of the game or not?
Do you score additional points for fighting? Do you increase your standings by winning a fight?
Yes, this is an extreme example. But it is exemplary of what is wrong with this sport.
The Detroit brawl was so far outside of what basketball is about.
Hockey fans can defend it all they want, but don't complain that hockey is a sub-prime sport. Fighting is the main reason.
Personally, I would like the fighting to be removed because I would like to see the sport grow. It's an absolutely awesome sport to watch.
i think what is even worse than the fighting is when the whistle blows and all of the sudden u see a guy slighly push another guy. He pushes backk. Another guy comes in an pushes. BaCK and forth with this silly meaningless pushing. This stuff seems like it happens after every play and takes about thirty seconds to a minute to finish up. Just tough to watch day in and day out.
