Hockey: the Last Honest Game

Hello there, readers! It is my belief that hockey is the last honest sport left out there. Baseball was wrecked by steroids, as well as other performance enhancing drugs. Basketball is filled with money-grabbing prima donnas who care only about themselves. Soccer is full of diving players, players who fake injury to get calls, and football has the bounty: injure a player and get money. Sports is corrupted, but there is a hero, and that is hockey. There is no controversy here. Fighting is used to protect teammates, and they don't allow fighting in other sports because they wouldn't be responsible and honest about it. Fighting in the NHL is never about personal vendettas. Rather, it is to pump up the team or the crowd, to defend a teammate, or show an opposing player he is stepping over the boundary towards dirty play. Hockey is truly the last honest sport out there. Players are not overpaid, there is no referee game-throwing, only good, sportsmanlike competition.
