It kind of makes sense though. Inadequate and emotionally immature people reacting like children to a game going wrong. Uncontrolled temper tantrums. Well adjusted, happy people would not likely be abusing anyone or losing the plot at a game of kicky ball.
@jshm2 Hey you’re actually correct about something for once… but of course it is a negative thing. I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day, so let’s not get too excited.
Now, show me where I was wrong in what I said... 26% more women and children getting abused when England win might not be as high as 38% when they lose - but it's still a significant number and backs up my claim that domestic abuse cases spike regardless of if England win or lose in the World Cup (I didn't specify any percentages).
I would say it amplifies an existing problem - that "group" is just looking for excuses so they can act out on the impulses they already have...if it's not football, it's because of (fill in the blank) _______ ....
Very sad for people that are stuck in these homes with these people...😔
Imagine doing anything because your football team lost. Imagine sitting there and watch someone else chase a ball around. These games are for kids to play in a park at a picnic. Why any interest beyond that developed I don't know.
Perpetrators frequently use external events to justify their actions. A football or rugby loss provides a convenient excuse to deflect blame away from themselves ("You shouldn't have bothered me after the team lost") narrative.
My brother-in-law has hit my FIL over a lost game. There are some pretty fuked up a$$holes living amongst us.
