The Globe pressed the question “But if the sport became soccer on ice, would that really be so bad?” The answer is yes, it would be terrible, hockey is popular because of its rough, gritty demeanor. The Globe and Mail also debated “The streamlined, beautiful game exhibited at the Olympics every four years proves that a purer version of the sport can exist, once the will to adapt is there.” This sophisticated play comes from bigger consequences, yes, but also from the pressure of representing your country in positive light. Hockey player’s in the NHL however play for themselves, their club, and in present day most importantly, their fans. Fans want to see huge hits, fights and goals - in reality the spectators are who pays the players therefore players must preform to their liking. Discussed was the fact that professional sports do remake themselves to eliminate harmful parts of the game, an example used in the editorial regarding hockey is the banning of spearing, but players still spear which proves adding rules don’t fix everything. Players want to impress their teammates, coaches and fans, sacrificing their own well being to do…

Banned in every country except New Zealand and the United States, DTCPA that includes product claims are more harmful than positive.…

Hockey has its rules but in certain cases where Chara slams Pacioretty in an angle at the glass pavement during 2011’s Boston vs. Habs, for example, has the referees become more flexible with its rules.

As for the reason of its “double standard”, the referees may realize the limits to which the players are taking the rules are very dangerous as such they penalize the players for their actions and this causes for its “double standard”. Generally the fans are the top priority in entertaining and the “double standard” rule benefits them the most. They’re getting satisfied with the game because of its flexible rules but at the same time they believe the players are protected throughout because it’s “Part of the Game”. Players also benefit from this rule because they can perform a violent action to their opponent while at the same time believing that they have a chance of not getting penalized…

Opponents of PAS say that the legalization of aid in dying leads to the corruption of physicians. That is to say, instead of making every effort to save life, physicians very likely reach the conclusion that their patients should simply opt for PAS. This thought is then reflected in their attitude towards patients with serious illness, causing deleterious effects on medical care (Gay-Williams, 1979). The fear pertaining to potential malign effects of PAS on medical professions proves groundless, though. The emotional impact of assisting suicide on physicians has made it clear that in no way will PAS be considered as an easier choice for doctors than other treatments at the end of life (Kimsma & Leeuwen, 2004). Moreover, the findings of a survey…
