Why Do People Want Fights In The NHL To Be Banned?

I've been into hockey ever since I was little. I didn't know exactly know the whole object of the game but I knew that when our team got the puck in the opposite net we got a point and everyone cheered and jumped around.

The beat part that really caught my attention were the fights. Everyone loves a good old fashioned hockey fight.When the fights happened everyone went nuts and knew that one or both teams would be a man short and that someone was on the verge of scoring.

The reason why I got interested in this topic is because I

simply love hockey. I just don't understand why people are

making a big deal out of nothing and I want to know the reason.

Without the fights what would be the point in watching

or playing hockey?

Those parts in the game are the

most exciting and what draws the fans in.

I know it does to me. Another thing would be if there were no

fights, crosschecking, slashing,high sticking etc..

where would the penalties come into play?

There would be none. So pretty much the game would

be boring and people would basically be

sleeping and wasting their time/money.

There was never a problem until now about

fighting in hockey. Some people say it should be banned but

saying that is almost as pointless as saying ice hockey players

shouldn't play with ice skates. So what I want to find out is why do people

want fights in the NHL to be banned?
