I actually don't mind fighting but the "policing" argument is pretty much the worst argument you could make. No other sports need fighting to prevent guys from trying to injure each other like savages and lots are as physical as hockey.
It's entertainment plain and simple... For some people largely in the male 13-50 demographic it works, for others like my wife it actually will cause her to change the channel or (tonight) just leave and do something else. Double edged sword for the league.
