Thats such a liberal copout...
I grew up in Canada, and i played hockey and got into lots of fights both in hockey, and at parties, but it was always one on one if it happened, and two people who both wanted to get involved.... shit happens i understand that... no one would have allowed a fight to go on if it wasnt 1 on 1, or if one person wasnt fighting back.... kids still knew some level of honor.
You take a guy like Don Cherry, (Canadian hockey Icon) who comes in every saturday night in between periods in hockey games, and he actually was a defender of fights in hockey, because players need to protect the goalies, and the superstars from cheap shots. He has always preached that you dont beat up on someone smaller than you, who doesnt want to fight, and that if you fight its one on one, and it is over, and that you dont take cheap shots, or hit a person who is down, so he is teaching kids some level of honor.
I have yet to meet someone, who played hockey, who would just sit there and watch that kind of shit go down, and in the rare instances something dirty happens in hockey, the guy is made out to be a total goat, there is some level of nobility, that simply isnt being taught to kids these days, or that kids or even adults dont seem to understand.
If my parents ever heard i hit an 80 year old, or beat someone up 4 on 1, or stood by and watched a girl get mauled by 4 other girls they would have kicked my ass.
