Subject: Entertaining Violence

Far worse than fictional depictions of violence in film is the real violence encouraged in certain professional sports, most notably Hockey, and to a lesser extent in Baseball and Basketball. These men are, to adolescent males, poor and persuasive models of how a real man should behave. They should not receive dispensation to break the law just because they are engaged in a game.

Assault and battery is a criminal behavior and should be treated as such. If the leagues require it, professional athletes will demonstrate that civilized men keep themselves under control. That they don’t is because they think it will cost them money.
