I Googled "NFL study domestic violence super bowl" and found no such study on the first 3 pages. I'd like to read it if you have a link handy.But the data that you are looking at excludes habitual abusers and only looks at first time offenders, that is how the original study by the NFL was commissioned.
I have no doubt that some douchebags might go ape and abuse their SO on game day. I just dismiss the suggestion that there is a giant increase, like we hear proclaimed year after year after year, even though it has been debunked year after year after year. A marginal increase? Sure. Just like there is on New Years Eve, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, etc. Holidays (and big sporting events) lead to people drinking, and, therefore, shitty behavior. I don't hear anyone suggesting it's dumb to celebrate Independence Day. But sports fans are demonized every year, and it's always from the feminist types who think we're all violent brutes who pound our chests when our team wins and pound our women when they lose. Please.....I'm tired of that shit. Beating a woman on Labor Day or on Super Bowl Sunday is the same despicable act.
Here's some interesting stuff from HERE that is no surprise and supports your DUI argument (and I never questioned BTW):
This shouldn't be breaking news for anyone. Any holiday invites drinking, as do HUGE sporting events. Sadly, there is no solution to this problem.What about other behaviors surrounding Super Bowl Sunday, like driving fatalities? On Super Bowl Sundays, compared to non-Super Bowl Sundays, Redelmeier & Stewart (2003) found a 41% relative increase in the average number of fatalities after the telecast on Super Bowl Sunday.
