Where is the outrage? (A little tongue and cheek)
http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=2706554

This has nothing to do with basketball directly. I just want to know where the consistency in hyperbole and opinions is? Where is the calling for this player's head? Where is the calling of names of the participants? Where is outrage of this fight where the player being punched was actually hurt, but a couple of NBA players fight and no one is hurt and no one is talking about society and our children?

Peace

Yes, but I was thinking this before I saw the program. But you get the idea.

It's hockey, nobody in the states really cares about it. I am a huge sports fan, all sports, but PTI was the first I heard about the sucker punch. If it was football, baseball, or basketball, it would have led every sportscast in the country. But, bottom line, it's hockey.

Also, it's the norm and expected in hockey. A fight in the NBA is a deviation from the norm. It's not news in hockey.

I don't know. I like Rut's way; it sounds dirty or something.
