All rights reserved. The last Sunday in January is a long-awaited day for many football fans. On that Sunday people gather around TVs, pop popcorn, eat potato chips, sit through another boring Bud Bowl and root for the team they want to win. While many women do enjoy watching football and even betting on it, men dominate the audience.
Football is by nature a rough sport, and unfortunately many players bring the roughness home.
The violence is not only shown by players but also their fans. Many people don't know that players aren't the only ones beat up on Super Bowl Sunday. Organizations against domestic violence claim that more wives, girlfriends and female acquaintances are abused by men on Super Bowl Sunday than any other day of the year. Acts such as domestic abuse and its connection to the Super Bowl mar a great sport like football. This is not to say that the Super Bowl should not be held or that the NFL is at fault for the violence occurring in the homes where people watch the game.
