World Cup matches sharply increase instances of domestic violence in England- whether the team wins or loses. The data in the United Kingdom, which is likely similar in the United States and elsewhere, shows domestic violence reports up around 30% in the aftermath of World Cup matches, going back over a decade. Using this data, police have increased patrols, put domestic violence units in control rooms, and compiled a list of high-risk abusers who will be visited ahead of time. It is not simply soccer. No doubt similar trends exist for American football and other sports, which combine high emotions with heavy drinking and substance use. theguardian/society/2014/jun/08/police-fear-rise-domestic-violence-world-cup
