But women's sports were not the only arena where fighting was a story. For NHL hockey, coming off a successful Olympic bump is now hearing calls to remove hockey one for all from the game. "The Olympics were great and there was no fighting," critics charge. In response, Steve Downie and Danny Carcillo dropped the gloves as soon as the opportunity presented itself this passed Tuesday. The world kept turning and everyone lived.
Anyway, I think we can all agree that fighting, well very exciting in unexpected situations such as a women's basketball game or a blowout hockey game... Wait, that last one isn't unexpected at all... REGAHDLESS, fights are best when they are planned, scheduled, and when they take place in a squared circle, or a proximal parking lot or playground. And well lookee here: don't we have something special planned for next week. No, I am not referring to several white men arguing over whether or not Xavier should be in the tournament over Memphis (they shouldn't be). I'm talking about the battle at Jerry World between Manny Pacquaio and Josh Clottey. And regardless of the outcome (Manny's gonna win), no one will be protesting or complaining that anyone got punched in the face. You know, since that's kind of the idea. And won't that be refreshing?
But let's not get ahead of ourselves, since we got plenty to talk about over the next week. As for girl fights? Well, as long as it's kept out of the ice arena, then Sean Avery shouldn't have a problem with it.
Don't fight me on this:
- Best article of the week. Wanna bet? (Free Darko)
- Is it better to burn out or a break a hip mid-period? (Melt Your Face Off)
- Now if we can just retire the people that say such things (KSK)
- Hey, geeks: check it out! (With Leather)
