First of all, I don't really see hypocrisy at play here because of the distinct cultures of each sport. Second of all, no one likes a braggart. (Not criticizing the man, simply addressing the topic as it was put forth in the "article") Finally, without sticks, overt aggressiveness, and fighting, hockey might "skate" to close the edge, for most men, between a respectable sport and synchronized skating.
With an additional observation that in the proper context, fighting wasn't so taboo until we became a feminized society of beta-males. I, for one, choose not to legitimize it. That is all.
Pin it!
