I've never really understood the appeal of hockey. I mean don't get me wrong, it's far from the worst sport out there, it's certainly pretty entertaining to watch as there's never lack of something happening. Still.......every time I see it I can't help but think "this is just a bunch of dudes who where too pussy to become boxers or fighters, but still wanted a profession that allows them to constantly beat the shit out of each other"

You clearly no nothing about it. it's not about fighting, it's a skill game. It's very much like soccer, excepet you do need to be tougher to play it because you will take contanct and fight through scrums. It perhaps takes more skill than any other activity, combining speed, strength, reflexes, quick decsision making, hand co-ordination, balance and the intelligience to anticipate plays and make the correct one. People play it to score goals or to stop them, and to compete to win. Fighing has almost nothing to do with it.

No, I really don't. Won't act like I do. Just watch the occasional game with a friend who's way into hockey. And even if it may not be representative of hockey as a whole, all that ever seems to happen in the games I've seen is the players constantly getting into it, breaking up the actual playing every other minute.
Don't even get me started on soccer lol. Most boring sport in the world

Going by what you dislike in Hockey (the breaking up of play) wouldn't you find Baseball the most boring sport in the world since the guy hits the ball then runs to a base; rinse lather repeat? I mean Soccer has a LOT more going on in it then baseball does.
