Can say the same for UFC. What's your point?How is it possible that anyone who has ever watched Canadian hockey, can express surprise that it's a money grubbing culture of abuse & violence from the top down?
Just askin'

One tidbit at a time. There would be heads exploding if you told them all the bad things that have happened or are happening all at once. wait until they find out lesbians play tennis.There are no facets in life that don't represent the same short comings.... Singling out hockey as if it is unique in this regard is disingenuous

Most pro sports are nothing more than gladiator sports. People go there to see blood spilled.Hockey has long been seen as an especially violent sport.
Agreed; but less-violent sports also promote socially-toxic aspects; like ego-gratification, one-upmanship, partisan rivalry, irrelevant nationalism (including fake nationalism - many of the athletes are 'foreign'). Sport for the pure enjoyment of it is virtually non existent, at least within the mass-spectator category.Most pro sports are nothing more than gladiator sports. People go there to see blood spilled.
Among major sports hockey is the only one that features (or used to) fighting and blood-letting.
Trying to pass it off as no different than baseball or football is ridiculous.
Oh absolutely.But they haven't tried to reign it in though right?
