@therapyjeff: The claim that Super Bowl Sunday is the "biggest day for domestic violence" is a myth that started in 1993 and was debunked almost immediately. But the real data on football and intimate partner violence is far more disturbing and it doesn't get nearly enough attention. Studies referenced: 📄 "Family Violence and Football: The Effect of Unexpected Emotional Cues on Violent Behavior" — David Card & Gordon B. Dahl, The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 2011 📄 KFF/ESPN Survey of 1988 NFL Players, 2025 📄 "Exposure to American Football and Neuropsychiatric Health in Former National Football League Players" — Football Players Health Study, Harvard University 📞 National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233
it was “debunked” bc the calls & mass influx of women came AFTER the game was over so they claimed it wasn’t due to the superbowl….

As a paramedic, I will say that my experience is that domestic violence goes up on Super Bowl Sunday.

Let’s be precise: it’s not football, although that and many other things may serve as a trigger towards men’s anger… it’s those men’s inability or unwillingness to regulate their behavior based on the intensity of their feelings

I worked in child welfare. The amount of DV on Super Bowl Sunday is insane! Most holidays are, but SB took the cake.

I appreciate you giving this larger context and expanding on the fact that assigning this just one day minimizes the danger women actually face

I always assumed it was true because we were always afraid of his team losing while I was growing up. Hearing it was a myth actually felt invalidating at first. Thanks for this.

what was the TV commercial a couple of years ago that made it look like the channel was changed during the game or something like that? how many women were injured as a direct result if that poor choice?

As an avid football fan, how could anyone ever hit their wife over football... That's evil of the highest order.

The older I get the less sports is appealing. I love playing them, but the insecurities and tantrums over “losing” as personal is ridiculous and awful.
