I'll sit here and argue that some sport's glorify and promote agression and violent behavior. I'll also argue ( with myself) that these same sports (and others) are a healthy release of the naturally occuring violent tendencies that people have.
Deny them as you will ( repression) or embrace- play a video game and let it out. Turn up metallica or beethoven or what ever and let the music take it away. Healthy release without harm to self or others is the key theme here. Ritual combat was a common form of dispute settlement in some older cultures, arranged fighting prevented war, murder ect. So screw the blamers, they are just in it for the $$$, or due to a lack of self-knowledge and responsibilty. They shall get what they deserve anyway.
