Hockey Prompt
Fighting in hockey is definitely an old school sort of thing, something that the old fans would cry for  and try to push the players to fight each other. As more and more research has come out about the long term effects of head injuries, the league has tried to push people away from punching each other and it leave everything in the game. While they still allow short fight, you're gonna get a 5 minute major for throwing fists like that. There are a few "good" reasons that players still do fight each other. First, trying to sway the momentum of the game by getting your team exited from beating some guy up, I'm not all that confident that this works but it gets the people going. Second, to take out a player better than you for 5 minutes, this can work but the really talented guys are smart enough to not fight back. I think fighting will get phased out over time, sure it's exciting but can also be pretty dangerous.
