There isn't a penalty box "for fighting" in ice hockey either. There is a penalty box for penalties of many sorts. - Guy Mar 10, 14:07 8
- Like fighting. - Dr.Vermin Mar 10, 14:10 7
  - The key difference is how frequent the fights occur. - Guy Mar 10, 14:19 1

  - In football, it alters your team's position on the field (I think). Different sport, different penalties. - Guy Mar 10, 14:15 4
    - In football, being a man up or down earns a penalty. -- nm - the liioulu with less Mar 10, 14:16
    - I like the idea of forcing a team to play a man down for 1,2, or 3 plays in lieu of yardage penalties. -- nm - znufrii Mar 10, 14:16 2
      - That would be a disaster. Nearly every penalty would result in a huge play or score. - Guy Mar 10, 14:20 1
        
        what better incentive not to get a penalty? - znufrii Mar 10, 14:22
On the other hand they have cracked down on similar hits. - the liioulu with less Mar 10, 14:05 1
- That would be football. -- nm - the liioulu with less Mar 10, 14:09
oh, but if there was. glorious. - TFox Mar 10, 14:03
