If this is happening with American football, just imagine how much more with soccer!:
‘Losses by local NFL teams may trigger episodes of domestic violence among their fans, a new study suggests. Researchers examined domestic violence reports in 1995-2006 and found that upsets of home teams matched up with an 8% bump in incidents of domestic violence. The surge in violence almost doubled when traditional rivals, such the Bears and Packers, squared off. 
‘The new violence occurred in the 3 hours following the game’s end, supporting the notion that the painful loss triggered the episode. The researchers don’t suggest that football is to blame: The upset likely just provides a trigger. “In a world without football, acts of abuse might merely get postponed, only to be brought on later by some other source of anger,” writes Ray Fisman for Slate.’













LOL Right. Great observation again David.
And you’re the third buddy who praised the new theme.
Thanks a lot for the encouragement!
BTW – I like the new theme.
Interesting, and not surprising.
It’s kind of funny… when a study reveals a link between football and violence, football isn’t a direct cause. When a study reveals a link between video games and violence it’s the end of the world.
