Violence in America is growing like wild fire. Some say it’s the War in the Middle East, others say it’s the poor times going on in the workforce. For youth though it can be a lot of different reasons: abusive family, gang influence, video games, and yes, sports in itself. Some of the most violent acts shown to America in America are violent hits in football, gloves soaring off in hockey, bench clearing brawls, and now arguably one of the most violent sport of all, MMA.
In my opinion violence is what makes sports entertaining. Without it, certain sports wouldn’t be certain sports. With youth though, we as parents and coaches need to teach them that violence is not used at all times but only when necessary. In today’s society violence is a common factor of life, it’s easy to compare it to the past because I remember as a child that I was gone until 10pm playing ball and didn’t have to worry about a thing. Now days, I’m afraid of my oldest to go to the store two blocks away. Violent sports will always be in our youth’s life because of the entertainment factor and that’s all a youth might see.
