Carry on. [Stop Tying Connor McDavid to Your Anti-Fighting Agenda-Puck Daddy](http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/stop-tying-connor-mcdavid-to-your-anti-fighting-agenda-145557082.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Wyshynski bravely exposes the all-powerful anti-fighting hockey lobby (well, aside from the power of actually taking fighting out of hockey). I hate to somewhat (not completely!!!!!!) side with Damien Cox on this one (ew) but look, it's probably both. This happens in hockey but rarely elsewhere. He was being a 17 year-old and not exercising his best decision-making powers AND there is a certain expectation on players to exhibit masculine/hockey pride as well as a permissive culture surrounding fighting. Society shapes the norms of hockey, and I think it's odd to suggest otherwise. I agree with Wysh that there are a lot of dangerous practices in hockey aside from fighting (such as getting hit with your head down or blocking a shot), but I would also argue that society shapes those practices (and a person's willingness to injure/be injured) as well. I view his assertion that injuries resulting from these acts wouldn't lead to a "protracted debate about hockey culture" as a challenge. I'm a grad student. I can have a "protracted debate" about anything, any time, any place.
