It's always been that way 2. It's a physical sport 3. It gets your team going. 4. You have to stand up for your captain / stars My responses to those 1. Well, until Slavery was ended, America had always been that way. Doesn't mean it's right. 2. Football is physical and they don't have fighting. Boxing is physical but as soon as the bell rings, they stop 3. If a coach has to have a player fight to get his players going, what kind of coach is he? 4. Absolutely. But legally check the hell out of the guy and he will learn his lesson. It’s funny, the only arguments I hear for fighting are:
