Talk:Violence in sports

message: In the Hockey section, nearly all the citations are meaningless orphans or broken links, referring to original citations that are now missing. Anyone with the ability to actually edit this page may want to correct the locked mess of unverified assertions. 66.86.112.53 (talk) 17:10, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

message: The list of notable events is lacking at the moment - to be blunt, I've seen no evidence that the brawls in Puerto Rico are of international note, and the two brawls noted in the US in basketball and baseball are merely noted as 'brawls' - unless someone can flesh out the details (did these brawls inspire a change in the laws? Long term suspensions of notable players?) then I'd propose cutting them out as well. If no one comments in the next fortnight, I'll trim these four events. Average Earthman 13:39, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: I really don't understand why it must be presumed that violence and aggression is abnormal or wrong. Only in this modern world where we have banished the gods of war could anyone think that the desire to fight is an abnormal masculine trait.
Blood lust is no different than sexual lust. Passion is neither good nor evil. We have evolved to be warriors and hunters. Because these instincts are undesirable in our docilie, feminized civilization does not mean they do not exist. Try as you might, human nature will be with us forever.
#don't know who wrote above... seem to be suffering from people not posting their names... Testosterone is noted as a reason for violence, which is not proven-. what is "Intermittent explosive disorder"? I got here through Sportsmanship and find that the link while existent is not necessarily strong. Dwarf Kirlston 20:15, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Intermittent explosive disorder is a personality disorder where a person has frequent and, in many cases, unpredictable outbursts of extreme anger or physical violence, but no signs in between episodes. The citation was included when I created this article, but that was some time ago and people have moved things around, perhaps orphaning this reference. --Westendgirl 06:21, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article is sickening in its moralistic overtones 

message: As usual, there is an anti-hockey bias. What about all the brawls we've seen in baseball over the years? Not a single mention, even though they far outnumber hockey brawling 3:1.24.64.223.203 05:04, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not against hockey, but I don't think that's what you meant by "anti-hockey". I have nothing against baseball. However, when I started this article, I was writing the piece on violence in ice hockey. Actually, I was originally writing about Billy Coutu's violent streak. Wiki being what is is, I assumed others (you?) would round out the article. Please feel free to add baseball info!--Westendgirl 16:14, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Talking about fan violence, one may mention the Richard riot, which happened in Montreal in 1955. It was more about the anti-French bias of some people than about hockey.

message: Should the water polo match during the 1956 Melbourne Olympics be included - there's something of an irony about such a violent match occurring under the auspices of the Olympics.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_in_the_Water_match 
Basically itwas a water polo match between Hungary and the USSR at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. The match took place on 6 December 1956 against the background of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.

thread_title:  Another historical example 

message: The article focuses primarily on one category of violence in sports; I would suggest including and briefly explaining the four categories of violence that are recognized in sports – 
1)brutal body contact. 2)borderline violence. 3)quasi-criminal violence 4)criminal violence. The first two categories of violence mentioned have gradually become accepted as the norm and as a result are more commonly practiced in contact sports; whereas the second two categories aren’t recognized as norms in sport culture and instead result in suspensions, fines, or other legal repercussions.
The article would be more informative and representative if it included additional examples of brutal body contact and borderline violence - these contribute to a lot of serious injuries (e.g. brain damage/injuries in NFL). (NIH) Agra659 (talk) 01:43, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, there is a lack of criminal violence in this article. I was looking to add a section focused on criminality ￼in youth sports. More niche on the subject of criminal violence in youth sports, focusing on the sexual violence found in youth sports. KillerTiger0317 (talk) 19:42, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Violence categories in sports 

message: Since there are sections dedicated to Fan Violence and Violence by Athletes, I would also suggest creating a section for Violence by Coaches/Trainers. This section could help develop relevant discussions – especially regarding gender-based violence. Sexual violence in sports is an example of gender-based violence because it primarily affects female athletes. This type of violence most commonly occurs between athletes and their coaches/trainers. The Larry Nassar case is widely-known and could be included as an example. While the majority of violence in sport can be attributed to male athletes/fans and contact sports, this section can address other problematic areas needing attention.

replies: text: I have some research under this umbrella with sexual violence in sports I would like to add to this article as well. Larry Nassar would be a good case to look into and there are a few scholar articles diving into this topic. KillerTiger0317 (talk) 19:45, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

message: Intentional wrecking is somewhat common in motorsports, sometimes resulting in drivers or teams coming to blows. NASCAR had a notable incident in 2012 between Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_AdvoCare_500_(Phoenix)
More recently, Luca Corberi got in an altercation in an FIA KZ Karting event, throwing a piece of bodywork at a fellow racer, then both Corberi and his father, the owner of the circuit, escalated the fight after the race. In the NASCAR Truck Series, John Wes Townley and Spencer Gallagher got in a drown-out grapple match in 2016. Finally, in Formula One, after a crash that took him out of the lead of the 1982 German Grand Prix, Nelson Piquet attempted to fight Eliseo Salazar before he was taken away.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982_German_Grand_Prix Smaller fights are fairly common, at least in NASCAR, notably with Kyle Busch too. 131.247.226.115 (talk) 18:12, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
