Due to the unstoppable success of the Chicago Blackhawks, an organization within professional ice hockey's largest league--the National Hockey League, the time has come for the federal government to take steps to ban hockey. The state of Illinois, which has jurisdiction over the Blackhawks, have proven ineffective at governance--two of its governors in the 21st century alone have served terms in prison as a result of corruption. Due to this lack of progress, federal intervention is necessary.

The leading scorer of the Blackhawks, Patrick Kane, is a blight on polite society and his unapologetic demeanor towards blue collar Americans demonstrates an antipathy towards America's working class. Their top defenseman, Duncan Keith, has demonstrated a lack of regard for the safety of the sport's players, openly mocking brain injuries in an era in which professional sports should, and generally do, attempt to act as a more enlightened beacon for the future. Their fan base, established serendipitously in the late 2000s as the team went from very poor to very successful, has disrespected the United States repeatedly by loudly cheering during the Star-Spangled Banner and has disrespected indigenous Americans by reducing the culture of Native Americans to the wearing of the American Indian equivalent of blackface.

The Chicago Blackhawks cannot be stopped and because of this, the time has come to stop the problem from the top and ban hockey.
