Well two mutually incompatible claims, then. And I just don’t really believe in either one. Most hockey leagues don’t have fighting and there’s no more bad behaviour. It seems to be mainly a North American thing
I’m supposed to just assume you are right about the “no more bad behavior” part?
Perhaps american sports incentivize immoral play and cheating simply by paying athletes more, and so fighting has emerged to counter this. Hard to say, we aren’t able to measure fightings impact on the game in a useful way.

I mean it is statistically that way. You can search it or wait for me to get home and give you the link. Either works for me.
