not made at the gate(Lunney 39). Millions and millions of dollars are gathered from pay-per- view televisionwhere again millions of spectators are waiting to see the outcome of a match like the onetwo weeks ago involving Mike Tyson and Frank Bruno where Tyson made an easy "$30million" Lunney 39).

Should we take steps to discourage the violence in sports is a question that is beingasked today due to the glorification of certain events like University ofMoncton-University of Prince Edward Island hockey game where a referee was assaultedon the ice after disallowing then allowing the same goal. This kind of violence occurs verylittle in the sport of hockey considering the amount of games that are played throughoutthe year. Sure there are acts like these but they are not the norm. It would be hard toeliminate violence that is in sport because it has been there for so long and is a part of thegame. Fans do not want to see it be removed because it is sometimes the only part of thegame that is interesting if the game is dull. Players know that a good, solid hit or a bit fightcan sometimes put momentum on their side giving them extra drive to pull ahead in thegame. Violence in sport is not having a negative effect on society, it is only allowing fansto enjoy themselves while they are watching a particular sport. Yes there are instanceswhere players and fans do go overboard and get carried away causing fights andsometimes riots, but it is not very often. When it does happen, it is glorified so that peoplethink sports are played by bozos and goons who can only fight. The violence that is insport is here to stay and should be left that way so that the real fans who know what isgoing on can enjoy the sport that they have took an interest in instead of media types andothers who do not have a clue in what they are talking about when saying...
