Not a baseball or hockey fan but I gotta be real honest

hockey should be more popular than baseball...

Hockey has hits which football fan likes
Hockey has speed and agility that basketball fan likes
Hockey is more fast paced and exciting than an average baseball game

this isnt even a race issue shit is just fucked up

I was reading foley is good & he was talking about how hockey stages fights & during a minor league game the players said they are encouraged to fight so more people would watch & mick says why dont they stage it & they will fill the arenas up cause they do the same thing.

so how do you guys feel about staged fake fights in the nhl/hockey?

Hockey = much less strategy and somewhat less skill. It's mostly about being physically superior to your opponent.

Fighting in hockey doesn't bother me. I do hate fighting in games where it means something like a playoff birth or a legends' last game or something like that. As long as the fight, fake or not, feels legit due to the atmosphere, I'm all for it.

Hockey's fighting is one of the reasons why I choose to not to watch hockey.

It just seems to tacky, and looks like it was added just in acknowledgment that hockey is so damn boring.

I think you mean basketball. Hockey is grueling as fuck.

Hockey fights aren't staged, they just happen, without warning. Do you seriously think they go, ok at the 13 minute mark, you two are going to drop the gloves and fight. Hockey is WAY too fast for them to plan anything like that.

OP here.
Did you hear when I say its not a race issue? I have tons of white friends that hate hockey and say that sport should die while they can sit down and watch a baseball game for hours.

Its also played on Ice, which half of America doesnt have access to in their backyard/neighborhood. Also, roller hockey sucks.

Reasons why hockey will never be popular in Amerikkka:

1. Equipment and rinks are very expensive, which means very few kids will grow up playing hockey.
2. Not enough commercial breaks during the games, which makes it unappealing to advertisers and TV stations.
3. Pucks are hard to follow, which makes it unappealing to casual viewers.
4. It's gay.

Hockey is like soccer but it's faster and more random

Alot less strategy and alot more reflexes and deflections determining the winner

Americans must simply have great difficulty discriminating between black and white.

Exactly. If there were more black people your white friends would want to watch Hockey.

I can't sake for shit, but man hockey is fun as hell top play, even on foot.

It's a bitch, but still kinda fun.

But yeah, it's kinda boring to watch.

How people can say hockey is boring but basketball is not is beyond me. Jesus Christ basketball games drag on forever.

Hockey is my favorite sport, I can't even stomach basketball. Baseball is good, but I find it hard to watch an entire game, especially if Detroit is losing.

I grew up watching Hockey and I played Hockey since I was 3. If you can't track a black puck on white ice then something is wrong with you. You should watch the Canadian broadcasts because the cameramen know how to anticipate the play where as most American cameramen do not. Plus Hockey on TV is just flat out wrong. Too many TV time outs. IMO, you should watch it in person. It is much better that way.
