Why can't you play hockey with pigs?
They always hog the puck!
Why This Joke Works
"Hog the puck" means to selfishly control the puck without passing, and a hog is literally a pig — so pigs hogging the puck is both their sports failure and their species accurately described. It's the most on-brand team sports problem imaginable for swine.
