So me and a kid in one of my classes this morning were debating on if we'd rather have a dirty player(ex Chris Pronger in the NHL, Rodney Harrison in the NFL) that takes cheap shots etc or would you rather have a player that's a known cheater(steroids, so on) playing for your team.

So my question is which would you rather have and why? The reason I ask is we asked some people and they were pretty much down the middle on it. So I figured i'd see what some of you think

i think ther is a very fine line between dirty play and playing hard. cheaters never prosper so give me the dirty player and a pack of orbitz gum

Pronger, Harrison, Sean Avery types are hated and talked about by opposing fans who would name them as their favorite player if only he played on their team...

Roid guy takes the integrity of the game down for personel gain...

I thought the same thing. I was surprised that so many people were down the middle on it

This is true, i agree. At the same time it's nice to see someone like Andrea Johnson beat the crap out of adirty player like Finigan

That is why I like ICE Hockey so much....that annoying/dirty players get the crap beat out of him however in the end he can fight back and live up or step up and prove he is a tough guy-- the game is "managed" by the players and the unwritten rule...you screw with a smaller skill player our tough guy will smash your face...it’s called consequences.

I love what Johnson did....he protected himself...in hockey they would of both got 5 minutes and it is over. However, Johnson will have to pay $ for protecting himself....

As far as ‘roids....that is way over the line and as ACAMP said so well above...takes integrity away from the sport.

When you say my team, am I the owner?? If so I want whoever will sell more tickets...I really don't like what happend in baseball (Acamp1900 did put it the best.) But it was a great show that sold out a lot of stadiums. Pronger, Harrison, and Avery can't do that. Just playing devil's advocate.

I'll take the juiced player that also takes cheap shots. He would be one heck of a player!
