Talk:List of sports idioms

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Someone should look up references to ice hockey for the phrases "the gloves are off / taking the gloves off" due to hockey players' tendency to remove their gloves prior to a fight. I have no cited reference to this, which is why I'm putting it here for someone much smarter to investigate. Thanks! Randrewd 16:58, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

All the references I can find indicate it comes from boxing. See the article. --SigPig |SEND - OVER 17:07, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
