Correlation in Media Coverage of Sports and the Acceptance of Violence by Spectators and Competitors

Violent inspection, strong shock, heavy blow, knockdown, broken tackle, violent event in some sports. Naturally violent, aggressive and violent sports (football, hockey, football, wrestling, boxing etc.) stimulate interest and are getting more fun. However, aggressiveness and violence in sports competition are obviously a problem. Destructive attacks are often intentional and are often encouraged by coaches, spectators and teammates. This aggression is increasingly popular among the general population, and it is popular even today's sports event.

In "Media, Sports, and Society", author Lawrence A. Wenner will see how violent behavior in sports is accepted as sports spectators improve viewers and television by preferring aggressiveness I will discuss. Evaluation Wenner said serious sports are unrelated to fair competition. Wenner's remarks are a bit extreme, but he thinks that it is true that the audience really likes aggression. For example, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a battle league including MMA. Though some people call it "human cockfight", it attracted a lot of attention, but it has already received high praise. The success of UFC comes from a thirsty fan who wants to see sports violence in the living room. The winner also explained:

Violence in sports may be done by spectators or athletes. Based on extensive research, viewers can instigate or reflect sports violence based on players, other spectators, cheerleaders, and clues given by the coach. Under normal conditions, viewers gain confidence and social identity from the team. This allows them to mimic the behavior of these players to show their identity. This is a connection with a specific team, creating solidarity between players, fans, and coaches. Therefore, I think that the opponent team is an enemy. Looking at other teams as enemies increases hostility towards enemy groups and hostility extends to supporters, geography, race, and so-called social class (Abdal-Haqq, 1989).
