"Forget about your protests over canned tuna and high gas prices. Boycott the NHL. Hockey is totally out of control, what with its thuggery and fisticuffs. We are a non-violent country, unlike those blood-thirsty heathens from Canada, and hockey must be stopped before it ruins our society. America's sports are peaceful. We would never have an incident like the one between Todd Bertuzzi and Steve Moore. Would you ever see a football player do something like deck a teammate in practice and break his jaw? I don't think so."

A little late, but still a good read.
