this made me laugh
It's true. They allowed to fight for about a minute or some bullshyt or until one of 'em knocked out or don't want it as a way for players to blow off steam and what's not as opposed to holding grudges or looking to settle up with more harsh tactics (hitting each other with the sticks or violent checking) later on, on some deterrent shyt.
It's a cool rule, actually, but it doesn't make the news 'cause hardly anyone watches or cares about Hockey compared to bigger sports like Base,Foot or Basketball which much more larger audiences with "Images" to protect and all that. Hell, even the NFL is toning down the whole "Gridiron Warfare" shyt with the brutal hits that were once praised by fans and the league itself after the first wave of brain dead players started 'committing that' and in other situations being found with severe brain damage 'cause of the game they played.
Baseball sorta gets a past since it's still Amerikkka's favorite pastime so when mostly white benches cleared, fans jump behind their teams/players/city on some gang shyt and excuse it. I mean, the rallying cry behind White America when Don Zimmer waddled his old arthritic ass
out the dugout to go start fist fights and hooked up Pedro Martinez
was some slanted bullshyt on how much of a "thug" the latin breh was compared to the fact that this old, wrinkled b*stard CAME OUT the dugout, ran past people, looking to join in the fray and prolly half expecting to see his old warbuddy Ty Cobb shyt kicking some brown person in the face before he let the crowd know how he felt.
There is some racial shyt behind it, sure enough, but...hockey got a culture of fighting ingrained it the same way Nascar lowkey got a bunch of people that go there to expect and see wrecks.
at all this race shyt being mentioned when the simple answer is fighting on skates and on ice isn't as likely to turn into serious injury/death as a normal fight is
