Ice hockey

Hockey is harder hitting than football, as the hitters almost always have a good amount of momentum. Every point matters as much as in soccer and can be either set up carefully and deliberately or happen in the blink of an eye almost as a fluke. Furthermore, they acknowledge that sometimes it's better to just let the player kick the crap out of each other for a little bit, just to get out the frustrations to refocus on the game. The fighting also keeps showboating in check; you think you're so hot until someone three times your size slams you into the boards over and over again, because you irritated him.
