There are no victims in hockey?

Tell that to the guy that marty mc sorly hit with his stick!

or the guy that lost his career by getting punched in the head!

or the guy that got his leg stomped on by a guy who just got off suspension for 5 other dirty offences!

No one complains that football is "violent,"

After the play football players help each other up not punch each other down, If that shit ever happened in football the players would get more than a "two minute" suspension.

There is nothing sporting about the fights that are allowed if not encouraged in Hockey!

They say that the coach called for the hit on Moore!

It is like WWF wrestling. Very entertaining but not sporting!

"far fewer injuries than football" Football is rough and more pysical not more violent.

"The physical side of the game comes not from league money motives"

If not to sell tickets then why do they let the fights go on?

Hockey as played in the Olympics is a wonderfull sport but the NHL is full of brutes not atholetes.
