They're talking about taking fighting out of hockey because of injuries and depression suffered by team Enforcers, aka goons

The coolest hockey player ever is George Laraque. He is black, speaks more than 1 language, smiles a lot, enjoys living life with family and friends, and he doesn't eat meat.

He is everything I hope every goon can someday become.

He scored a hat trick once, which is weird as hell because he was a straight-up enforcer and had absolute hands of stone.

Because equipment and ice time is expensive and black families & schools are typically poorer? This then leads to a cultural barrier that makes it hard for black youths to want to get into hockey.

Nope! Because every other sport pays better. Being a star hockey player in the US is a step above being on Judge Judy for notoriety.

Also, NHL contracts have guaranteed salary, in NFL contracts the salaries are non-guaranteed.

Considering the speed of the game, I've always found hockey boring. Kind of weird since I've a bunch of friends that really love it and keep trying to get me into it. Also, from my understanding, I thought the hockey-goon was already becoming a thing of the past. I hear the game is faster and more technical now.

you can't be technical if youre laying on the ice, that's why there will always be some kind of goon

*Official blows whistle to suspend play in a completely mundane fashion*
*Player throws an awkward poorly timed punch at an opposing team's player*
*Mob of people on the ice flailing against each other for 30 seconds*
*For the next 5 minutes everyone on the ice just kind of grabs each others jerseys while yelling "gently caress"*
*Officials spend an additional five minutes determining how to distribute penalties*

"No way to prevent this," says sport where this routinely happens.
