Violence in the NHL Violence in sports is a very large controversial topic and both sides have very good supporting facts to back up their choice. Some say violence is used as a strategy and some say it is just too dangerous. Sports have always had an aspect of violence in them and everyone loves a good fight in hockey or a big crunching hit in football; plus, it’s sometimes the only reason people watch.

They provided a ready market for any surplus grain that was raised. The business was considered respectable; and members of churches, and even deacons engaged in it…
