Why sport events are becoming violent?
Man is naturally a violent animal. We could become the master of this world just because our forefathers were violent and didn't hesitate to kill others. After the advancement of human civilization, efforts were made to curb man's violent nature. A lot of rules and laws were formed in this regard but human nature didn't change much. He could not fully stop his violent behavior. In fact in his quest for becoming the master of this world, he became more violent.
To stop unnecessary bloodshed sports events were organized. Here without involving in bloodshed, man could release the pressure of rushing testosterone in his blood. Without killing others one can feel himself triumphant and victorious. This also satisfies one’s own ego.
But as this post has already described, sports events are not free from violence and fights. Sports events are not just a matter of fun for many. These days huge amount is involved in sports events and plays. No amateur players take part in these sports events these days. They are professional players and winning is everything for them because only a win can decide the future and career of a player. Hence, they want to win at every cost. Even if they have to take help of unfair means or have to indulge in violence, they will not hesitate.
There is also many other things are involved. Feeling of national pride is associated with the sports. A lot of people view these sports events in stadiums and also they are live broadcasted on television that inspires players to perform extraordinarily. Players feel a lot of pressure on them which can result in skirmishes and violence also.
Even spectators are not spared. They also feel the adreline rush in their veins and feel the pressure. Media is also responsible for instigating people to become violent as media plays with the sentiment of the players as well as spectators. Media sensationalize these events and creates a hype which can result in violent behavior of players and spectators in sports events.
I think these are the reason of violence in sports. We know the reason of a problem and we can also solve it.
