Video game related Violence Vs. Sport related Violence

[Kita]

Which would you say is worse?

I mean look at what happens with the Red Sox win the world series.  Cars get flipped over and property gets vandalized.  A family member of my room mates friends even got murdered after the win. 

Now you have people like Jack out to put a stop to violent video games.  Yet how many times have you heard of a riot taking place because a bunch of people had a party and played GTA? NEVER!

Violence related to sporting events happens a LOT more but you don't see them trying to shot down Fenway!

GO AFTER SPORTS FANS AND LEAVE US ALONE!!!

I personaly have experaince with both sides of this.

I remember back when the Ravens won the Super Bowl how much violence from celebration there was. I know a friend of mine got both of there cars filped over and had to pay a good amount to fix them. There was also a fire that nearly was fatal.

Then on the other hand there was when the PS3 launched. One store in particaular nearly had a real riot on there hands. Mainly due to the fact that some memebers of the croud were actually armed. It got so bad the store owner ship out the few PS3 he had to another store.

So I guess both can get pretty bad.

I'm not talking about in the game.  I'm talking about gamers that play the game and then go out on the streets and be violent in real life.  That hardly EVER happens.  Where as with sports.  Fans go and watch and then riot afterwards like what happens when the Red Sox win the world series.

That was the FIRST time EVER though.  I mean when the Patriots win and the Red Sox win here in Boston we have a riot EVERY single time.

One incident doesn't justify the persecution gamers get.
