I feel you, some guys can be d-bags... I play hockey but, I tend not to associate with them as much off the ice.
I feel your pain bro, pucksluts are horrible, I just lost the girl I was dealing with to a hockey-plaing douche. He converted her to puck-sluttery.
REAL TALK THO DAWG: Soccer players are the absolute WORST for douche-baggery and being pricks. Their attitude, their hypocrisy and their hair, it's all atrocious. Even the men's leagues my brother refs are filled with that sort of people. Also, Anytime someone points out how much of a joke their sport really is, they flip out. It happened to me today: some euro with spiky hair was trying to tell me that soccer players take just as hard of hits as rugby players... I told him straight up that he'd be crying if I hit him. He kept going on and on how slide-tackles are so dangerous.... Stuff like that, I've had happen to me so frequently. Soccer players act as if soccer is the only sport in the world and that it reigns supreme.
I THINK THIS IS RELEVANT:
BUT, BUT, BUT: Skiing is a hobby. Sure we smash damn hard but, by far not the hardest. Parkour artists defy death and smash into concrete SO HARD and it's only considered a "leisurely pastime." Hockey players NEED to be athletes if they want to be good so, they should be respected for their efforts. Skiers don't really need to work out to be good at what they do. Unless you're super intense or compete, it shouldn't be considered a sport. Don't get me wrong I adore skiing.
