So, I guess the future of hockey is for its athletes to become the physically gifted but arrogant, spoiled children that dominate basketball, football and baseball.

So far removed from everyday life and people, athletes in those sports, mostly black, move in  a world where normal rules and decorum do not exist. Scowling "gangsta" athletes, with their entourages, vapor trails of abandoned kids and wives, and quickly diminishing bank accounts in their post playing days.

Yes, that may well be the future of hockey. No more "aw shucks" humility, fake or not.

I'll pass.
