Hockey is a Sport for Wimps
The majority of you, upon reading that title, will probably think one of two things. Either ' FAG!' or ' LOLZ I BET J00 SUCK AT HOCKEY!'. For the record, yes, I do suck at hockey. But I have a valid explanation: I suck at hockey because I DON'T PLAY! Hockey is not as intense as it looks. Sure, it might be hard to play, but playing hockey does not make you tough.
Do you ever hear hockey players referred to as jocks? No, of course not. Jock's are big, buff and athletic. Hockey players are not. A lot of the hockey players that I know are smaller than I am, have very little muscle and most of them are running on the fat side. I mean, just take a look at your average hockey player compared to an athlete from a real sport, like football.
I just took Wayne Gretzky, the greatest hockey player of all time (greatest being a relative term of course), and put him beside Brian Dawkins, a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, one of the worst teams of all time, and just look how they match up. Gretzky is scrawny even with all that padding while Dawkins is covered in muscle. Gretzky has a look of confusion while Dawkins, though you can't actually see his face, almost definitely has a glare on his face.
I mean, if you were in a fight, and you could have a random athlete from one sport on your side, which sport would it be? You would probably choose a football player or a rugby player. Hell, even a soccer player would probably be a better choice than a hockey player. In hockey the biggest fights you get into are when you check someone into the wall. In football, just as part of the sport, never mind fighting, you're routinely tackling somebody to the ground.
There you go, I've just shown why hockey is a sport for wimps. If you disagree, you are wrong.
