Hockey, Baseball, 7 game series to decide anything. Hockey is the most entertaining of the highly televised professional sports in this country.

yeah they play for 10 seconds at a time, but in that 10 seconds their running into each other at full speed, fully intending to cause as much pain to the opposing team as possible. I baseball, you “tag” someone. :greddy:

and why should the taxpayers foot some of the bill? Ya know how 65,000 people show up to down town when the Steelers play? Those 65,000 people stay in hotels, go to restaurants, go to bars, park their cars, etc.

This generates tax revenue for the city, and profits for its citizens.
