Fights have been a big part of hockey for a long time; they are just an American tradition in hockey. Now the NHL is debating whether or not to ban fighting in hockey. Fighting has caused many injuries including concussions. The NHL wants to better protect their players but are they making an effort to protect their fans that live and breathe hockey fights. If hockey fights are banned the NHL will lose most and their entire fan base.
I think hockey fights should be allowed because it’s exciting when the guys are right at the glass in front of you and everybody is screaming their lungs out. It is great for American sports. People should support all of the fights in hockey because that is the reason that the National Hockey League still has the fan base that it does. I also think that the National Hockey League does not get the publicity it should. The fights may cause concussions but you don’t have to let it go to extremes but the referees do not have to stop the fights right away.
