Here's the kind of so-called sport the city of Rockford is buying into

The so-called sport of hockey is facing another scandal regarding violence, which gives The Rascal pause concerning the city of Rockford's acquisition of a minor-league franchise.

Why would city officials want to be involved in such a cretinous business? And why, as we've asked here before, isn't thuggery in a hockey game prosecuted as a crime?

It's shameful that the city is investing public monies in something where this kind of sportsmanship is not uncommon. What's next? City-sponsored Toughman Contests at the MetroCentre?

Oh, right. I forgot. We're not supposed to display negative attitudes about the goings-on in our community.
