pseudo-Parkinson's disease

I hate hockey. I didn't used to hate hockey, but now i do.
What triggered it??
When i found that hockey actually promotes violence.

"No it doesn't" you say.

Oh, but it so does. They have an "Enforcer" position, and all they do is check other players!!! Sure, there are no Enforcers in the minor leagues, but hey, guess who those kids look up to?!? idiots like Tie Domi! Who is apparently, a great "enforcer", as measured by the time he spends in the penalty box!!! What. The. Fuck???

and you know what sport is even more outrageous than hockey?? BOXING! (and football too, but that discussion will be for another day) .... and who are the only boxers i know by name?? Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali. and why do i know them??
Mike tyson - cuz he bit someone's ear off, and EB and I re-enacted that in a math project in gr.10 (i don't even remember what the project was about!)
Muhammad Ali - cuz he supposedly has Parkinson's disease. or so everyone thinks.

But guess what!! he does NOT have Parkinson's disease! Parkinson's disease is a Neuro-degenerative disease... i.e. a specific population of cells in ur brain dies... the exact cause is unknown atm, but genetics is definitely linked to it.

So then, what Ali have??
Dementia Pugilistica
What is that?? It's basically Punch-drunk syndrome. i.e. Ali does not have what Michael J Fox has. Ali's "disease" was brought on by repeatedly blows to the head cuz of the stupid game that he played. GAME. who the hell invented this retarded game?! Sure, hitting below the belt is not allowed in this game for dumbass losers, but punch ur opponent in the head, smashing their nose in, giving them concussion is perfectly fine. Uh huh.

Conclusion: Boxing and hockey (and football) are dumbass games. I think someone should do a study on the average lifespan of boxers, hockey players, and football players (adjusted for income!!!). i bet it's at least 10yrs shorter than normal people.
