Message: [QUOTE="BigErnMcCracken, post: 3965986, member: 70"] No, I don't think that's what's happening. I think what's happening is that people who by their own admission don't watch or like hockey are telling people who do follow the sport about what is or is not a part of it. It's very weird. Again, you don't have to like it, or understand it, or watch it, but to say that it's not part of the game is just really freaking strange. Ask a guy like Ryan Reaves if fighting is not part of the sport. If it was banned tomorrow he'd literally be unemployed. The role of fighting has been explained multiple times by multiple people. No one has said it's part of the game only because "it's always been around." [/QUOTE]
