The Search Begins..

I started my research by sitting at my computer for about 2 hours doing nothing but staring at it thinking about which website I should type my question into. After debating whether I should do my search now or wait I ended up doing it and going to google. I typed in my question which was "why should hockey fights be banned?" I clicked the first link that was on the page and it took me to some kind of message board where people were throwing in their opinions on the subject.(rootzoo.com) I started to read the comments and what really caught my attention at first was that the person who first commented compared hockey to other sports. For what reason they did that I don't know.

I started to scroll down to read more of the comments to see what other people thought and it seemed as if they were saying the fights shouldn't be banned (which I agree). What fun would hockey be without the physical altercations? A few of the people started to comment about some old players and who they fought and reading them made me remember the one games with Rob Ray(Buffalo Sabres) and Bob Boughner (Calgary Flames) and when they had got into a fight, one of the referees had gotten injured by catching a high stick right to the eye from Ray. Everyone was going crazy and they were all pumped up throwing stuff around and started to high five each other like they all just won the lottery. That brought me back to my question. Why should the fights be banned? They obviously give off energy and get the crowd going.

Well I started to scroll down more further and one person stated that if you take the fighting away from hockey that you might as well get rid of hockey all together. Then you have the people who say it should be banned because it gets too dangerous for the players. What sport now a days Isn't dangerous or doesn't involve some kind of physical contact?
