Fan Violence in Major League and High school sporting events is a rapidly growing issues in the world today. Although sports bring out the joy, teamwork, shared goals, competitive and motivational edge it can also bring out violence. The following article suggest that sports reflect society whereas other suggest that athletes predominately in more physical sports. For instance fans of the NFL are more likely to be violent opposing to the fans of the NBA. I specifically state this because for instance if your a fan of football and your favorite player is violent and promotes violence you may that is it ok. Ndamukong Suh who is a known violent player in the league promotes violence so his fans are more likely to inflict violence on other fans. Throughout his 5+ seasons in the NFL Suh has earned two-game suspensions and racked up a hefty $420,669 tab in fines. Suh have kicked off players helmets, punched players in the head, kicked played in the groin area and even attempted to break Aaron Rodgers leg by resting 307lbs of his weight on Rodgers leg while he was on the ground shaken up after a bad no call. His antics has risen awareness around the league and between players and gained him the name of “repeat offender”. According to Washington Post the arrest record increases whenever the home team loses, no matter the opponent or scheduled kickoff time. When division games are played at night, arrest are twice as high as early-afternoon non-division contests; the league and its network broadcast partners often schedule these division rivalry games in prime time. The closer the loss, the more arrests tend to rise. This shows how hard die hard fans are willing to go to show their team support and how much they care about them winning and losing. When the teams loses the fans are affected not only the players and coaches.
