Unfortunately, violence is gaining ground in professional sports. To the tragedy of days ago in a football game in Indonesia – which caused 129 deaths – a video went viral yesterday, with more than 6.5 million views, where two players from the American Football League (NFL) , they cut down a fanatic who jumped onto the field of play, holding aloft a torch of smoke.
Brutal cataloged the press of the United States and Spain how two Los Angeles Rams team players pounced on the invader, in the Santa Clara stadium, during the game against the San Francisco 49ers. What is worrying about the fact — beyond the excessive force applied to placate him, which is common in that country in any activity — is the interest aroused in millions of delighted and even amused visitors, seeing the exaggerated arrest of the man.
In Indonesia, most were trampled to death by the clash between supporters of the two clubs at Kanjuruban Stadium in East Java. Now the brutality appears in another sporting spectacle and, although it should annoy, instead it amuses a good number of fans rather than outrage them. Will this trend towards increased violence continue on the professional sports stages instead of experiencing the satisfaction of witnessing a good event?
