A travesty on hockey's good name

[thedisappearer 291]

i get you;re point, but hockey is pretty much impossible to play, to regard it on the level i do, you have to play it, i understand you hold it high, theres no doubting that but once you've played, you know

Get over yourself.

Hockey is hardly impossible to play, and I think its a universal that you will enjoy a sport more if you play it regularly as opposed to watching it, whether its hockey, baseball, football, bowling, whatever.

Without understanding where i've come from its hard make that judgment in my case, in any case hockey is far harder than any other sport and to make it into the NHL is nearly impossibel unless you have an insane work ethic

I already know how hard of game it is to play without having ever played it. I don't need a book or actual playing experience to realize how hard of a game it is.

The whole "I've played hockey so I automatically know more than you" or "You don't know hockey *insert sport here* if you haven't played it" is so incredibly ridiculous and snobby.

Other sports are pretty hard to play on a competitive and professional level as well. That doesn't make those sports bad.

Never said you dont know as much about hockey as me, but if you havent experienced playing it at a high enough level how can you say that, due to financial reasons i was a hockey fan for 16 years of my life and never played, i played other sports such as football, basketball, and baseball, the latter 2 couldn't bear to play because the lack of contact and the first was a game that i pretty much dominated until i got bored. Finally i got to play hockey, and nest year I am going to try to play Junior A here in WI, it has taken me 3 years of hockey 24/7 365 and i still have to gain another 20 lbs if i am going to make it. and a ton more skill but i work out at a place called puckmasters here and the teacher i have knows more about hockey than all of us here.

You can say the exact same thing about every sport.

This first look isn't deceiving

Hidden in this gem of an article is:

This sort of thing should not be happening at a hockey game. Blackhawks fans have put up long enough with McCub's theatrics. The circus atmosphere inherent to a Cubs "game" is, sadly, already beginning to creep into the United Center. Next thing you know, he'll be importing the century long championship drought, too.

ok....one question...where is the ball? You may confuse spectators thinking that a ball game is going on somewhere else in the stadium/field and they are missing something.

It's like chanting "Hey, batter-batter Hey, batter-batter" at a basketball game. I makes not an ounce of sense.
