Because hockey is a closed society where pissing off the wrong guy at the wrong time means your hopes and dreams for 15+ years can be dashed in an instant, along with millions of potential dollars in career earnings.
Because there is no public accountability for leagues that would be financially unprofitable without massive public subsidy.
Because sports are used to co-opt national identities to achieve mythical, unassailable status.
