Could all of you at least give better arguments against hockey than "I could never watch it" and "I fell on a ice surface"???
Hockey is the fastest team sport in the game, it flows and never stops, Soccer in comparison is a world of boring. The only reason soccer is popular worldwide is because its quite more accessible than hockey because all you need is a ball.
- In hockey you have 10 players and 2 goalies fighting over a chunk of vulcanized rubber that they shoot at speeds over 110MPH
- They don't do wussie dives to get attention or get someone punished
- they solve their own problems in the rink no need for referees.
- The goals are insane
- Scott Stevens enough said.
