From the Paper:
"Violence in sports is a serious social issue. Sports violence occurs most frequently in team sports, hockey being an obvious example; however, it is also perpetrated by coaches, spectators, and is reinforced by the media. Spectator violence is a common theme of research, and out of this research, three theories of violence in sports has been developed: Biological theory, which argues that sports violence is an aspect of aggression, a natural human instinct, and is an acceptable way of discharging aggression. Psychological theory considers that the aggression of sports violence is a result of frustration; therefore, losing games, or being threatened by another team, may provoke aggression. This does not answer incidents where violence is perpetrated by the winning side."Sample of Sources Used:
