Hockey
So I was squeezing my mind grapes and I want to talk about Hockey. It boggles me that hockey isn't huge. Sure they have a professional sport here in the US. But it's always pushed to back page news every where, especially here in Georgia. Sure the Thrashers suck, but it's a shame that they aren't adored in this state. Hockey is a sport that appreciates pure speed, agility and grit. In a sport where fighting is virtually legal and hitting/physical play is more than encouraged. People in this country are forever starved for fast paced hard hitting action. Hockey offers it all. People here in the south need to get over the whole idea that it is played on a cold surface, something us here in the south seem to care very little for. Hockey is an unbelievable sport and the NHL houses some of the greatest athletes on the planet. I would take Ilya Kovalchuk (6'1" 225) over most any athlete on the planet. These guys are fast, agile and haft incredible hand eye coordination. Forget the fact that you cannot pronounce the majority of their names and just sit down and watch a hockey game, allow yourself to get immersed the beauty that is hockey.
