rinse repeat

until the players vote drastically changes, and thats not going to happen for a long long time, then every unfortunate moment during a fight will bring out the same press agenda to change the game.

Thats what the press does, an freak injury that happens whether it be a helmetless player skating at warmups, a player skating with his head down, a one sided ko in a fight will bring a immediate uproar from the media before any public response has time to reacted. We as viewers react to the media's whim rather the the media reporting the voice and desires of the people the are reporting too. This (fighting in the NHL) is NOT the NHL's wishes, Not the players wishes and Not the fans wishes... yet this is a major witch hunt by the media at the drop of a hat at the moment they can use a players injury as a sympathy ambulance chasing sort of way

If the media wishing to remove fighting from the game then they need to stop waiting for incidences like what happened to Parros (which was balance and not the actual fight) and listen and give guys like dave schultz more air time and not just when something bad happens. If you want to see a man speak negatively on fighting's place in the game then look at him. Bob Probert donated his brian to concussion research, focus on those stories if the goal is sincere.... but its not.

The media knows the arguments, they know the results and they know that this is the easy root for their reporting will be the water cooler talk the next day. This has less to do about Fight in the game then ratings (not NHL but TSN)
