Sports violence
Sport : the violence mentality
It has been hypothesized that team sports are a form of warfare. Whenever this is true or not, sports do generate an inordinate amount of violence. It has been proven that football players are incredibly criminal compared to the general population.
As APBnews (an outlet of criminality-related news) reports in “The Stats of NFL Player Crime” (January 2000) : “[p]rofessional football players tend to be scofflaws and criminals — gold-wearing, pot-smoking, brawling hip-hop gangsters who beat their women and abandon their children”. It found, for example, that as many as 11% of football players in the last Super Bowl had a criminal record ! Of course, one must be reminded that their star status makes them less likely to be arrested than an average citizen, making this statistic a bare minimum.
Sports elicit violence, be it children and wrestling, soccer and fan fury, Stanley Cups and riots, or football and student deaths
