Can you beat the crap out of people in Ice Hockey, or is it just internets rumours.

Now go away.
I just learned that I share an overall sports perspective with Idol
Thank goodness there is a slight departure, in that I don't watch hockey due to the fact that figure skating is a bit ghey.

Both basketball and NFL are fantastic highlights sports. There used to be a magazine type program for each on CH4 in the UK, and I rarely missed either. Of course, I was a student then and never missed an episode of Kilroy either, but that's not the point.
Neither game stands up when watched live precisely for the reasons you and others outlined but if getting drunk whilst overseeing a cook-out and having sport on in the background is your thing, then either of these sports is tailor-made.
What you say about puntsphere is completely untrue, but you were being facetious anyhow. The diving is real enough but it's an ugly part of the game brought on by wanting to win a little too much and being willing to do anything to get an advantage. It's abhorrent but the rule-makers seem reluctant to bring retrospective punishment to bear and the current yellow-card shown to divers is infrequently used - due to them being so fecking good at it now
My favoured solution is the pink card. Anyone caught diving in a match by a fourth official watching on a TV monitor is issued a pink card there and then by the referee and has to sit out a subsequent two game ban. It would stop diving straight away and I'm not sure what the hold up is.
Stop glaring.
I watch real football every once in awhile, not enough to remember anyone's name but I usually catch up on all that during World Cup time. I just can't get excited following league play since our league is no fun and I find no motivation to stay on top of another country's league. I hear we have a decent hockey team given our non-icy location, and have been invited out countless times, I've just never made it out to a game (mostly because I hate being around a mass of other Floridians).

I'm going to tell you that in all probability, it would be an orange card or a different non-gay colour because it wouldn't be PC to use a pink card, let alone a pink card with you're a giant cawk-swallower on it. I'd also like to take the opportunity to tell you that red and yellow cards were introduced to the game at its infancy but were phased out, only to be brought back in during the late 80s in a blaze of publicity.
I tell you this because Arty is hovering. And, well, y'know.
