If two players can't settle their differences, they fight. It's a fact of the game. If you score a goal on somebody, then turn around and rub it in their face, you better watch out, because you're asking for a fight. It's just a given in this day and age, and it's a sad given in this day and age. We are logical people, that should not have to fight, to resolve our differences.
Fighting is obsolete, and unnecessary.
We must cleanse our society of this impulse to fight, and live in harmony, and this is how we will do it . The level of violence in the NHL has dramatically increased over the years. Since 1975, the number of fighting penalties in the NHL has more than doubled. Members of our society support the violent attributes which sports such as hockey and boxing condone. Some of these members are coaches and parents of young players who are just beginning to play the sport.
