thank god its monday. my day off is here and i get to have tasty brunch with my friend, then game night which is always kinda ok. though last night i had an odd notion. why is Football more popular in the US than hockey. at least in new england and the northern states. it does get rather cold here, we know what ice is. i know americans like football cause its "a warzone" with burly men in padding running into one another over a piece of what use to be pig. its a dangerous sport, lots of concussions and whatnot. However, Hockey has had fatalities on the ice, players lose teeth regularly, and a sheet of glass has to protect the spectators from stray pucks. EVERYONE is in danger doesnt that sounds more american????

Being from the South, I know that most guys around here don't know how to skate, rollerblade or skateboard. In much of the South, it's not realistic to do any of those things as a real mode of transportation and it's not stressed socially. To ice skate is nearly unheard of unless the lake freezes over or someone puts together a seasonal rink. The closest ice skating rink to me is over an hour away. It's not that we don't like it, it's just not as relevant.
I tell you all this because I feel your pain but see the issues with hockey becoming the insanely popular sport that football is. I have pictures of my family that immigrated here from Poland ice skating. My grandmother grew up in Brooklyn & was great at it. & by gosh, I wish I had the opportunity to do it more.
