You’ve missed out on “great” stuff like the time every semi-pro player on the ice threw gloves down and started brawling before the first puck drop of the game, due to an old rivalry that likely had nothing to do with any of the players on the teams.

The penalty boxes didn’t even have standing room. Glorious because of how silly it was.

I’d be fine with fighting dying off, as I’m sure it makes some kids not want to play who otherwise would, but at least a lot of the pro stuff does stop the fights these days, so we are getting there..

    counterpoint: I think we ought to introduce fights into baseball.

    I think we can go farther... fights in tennis? Cricket? Cutting? Golf?

    Actually that last one would be pretty good if we kept the same whispering announcers.
