AJ, the reason why the league doesn't go away is probably because (as sad as this may seem) the demand for this product is high. These guys are paid tens of millions of dollars from the pockets of the fans. Comparing it with pro wrestling and roller derby is way off base if the point they are making is uncontrolled violence. In pro wrestling, the conflict and violence is staged and the combants don't try to intentionally hurt each other. What I mean to say is that wrestling is tame compared to hockey. Hockey is closer to Ultimate Fighting.
