Pro Athletes and Violent Crimes

Due to the competitive nature of today's sports association, athletes are required to be aggressive and powerful both physically and mentally. This extreme way of thinking may stay at some athletes and explain why so many athletes committed violent crimes. Society requires competitors to function fully in stadiums and stadiums. Fans have gotten used to high flight, tough athleticism and skills, and the success of athletes is the privilege you and I have dreamed of and often gives them a higher position in society.

Domestic violence is the greatest crime by athletes (Benedict and Yaeger 1998). In most cases domestic violence includes male athletes who abuse their wives and girlfriends during violent sports. Steve Jackson, who began operating St. Louis Rams in 2010, was accused of hitting his girlfriend, and she was pregnant with children for nine months. Former girlfriend Supriya Harris said Jackson "grasped my arms and threw me to the door and repeatedly pressed on the ground." . Ten days later, she sent the children, but the couple divorced four months after he threatened her again (TMZ 2010)

Professional athletes were attacked for reckless driving, domestic abuse and theft. Many fans think that professional athletes are role models, especially for young and vulnerable fans, so these expenses depend not only on victims of these crimes but also on the general public .

Professional athletes are rare in other countries, but have great decisive and competitive abilities. High salary, participation of fans and society are three theories. Why athletes tend to take such violent behavior in this way. The high salaries that athletes make are reasons for their energetic exercise, as they almost always get rewards for this kind of competition. Professional sports fans cheer for their team, especially when there are injured players by opponent teams. Society has begun to accept the fact that violence in professional sports never decreases due to the income involved in the game. These facts are sad but reality, and it is children who are most influenced by violence in our society.
