A major reason there is so much argument over the violence in sports and if it is caused by society is that there are so many arguments as to why there is an increase in violence. However, most of these arguments are arguing for the exact same thing as a lot of them think it results from some sort of social construction. For example, there are the people who claim of electronic media being to blame and there are the people who blame it on the parents and how the kids were raised. Either way, the increased violence is assembled by societal factors according to these arguments. Past solutions have included ideas to cleanse the content that children are exposed to and to encourage a more family-oriented atmosphere. Of course, this doesn't always work either. Many sporting events advertise athletic events as fun for the whole family. Yet, there can be a group of spectators that may be loud, offensive, or drunk that don't exactly recreate the family atmosphere the promoters advertise.
Studies attempt to find the causal link between a cause and the increase in violence. A study will come out and report that a certain societal event or tradition can lead to a certain percentage of increased chance of violence. This only leads to a negative peace. People might not accept the study as valid, they might disagree, and often other researchers will conduct their own study. When doing their own study, they might find a different factor or cause is to blame which creates another negative peace until the situation reverses again.
To look at why none of the other so-called solutions have worked, there is 0ften a great number of positions claiming the answer. This is a complex issue and there is no real clear answer to a single factor being the cause. This leads to a possibility that the solution and reasons could be due to a variety of the positions or solutions that have been offered. Possibly, a win-win situation could be arrived with many of the positions being right as they all have the possibility to contribute to increased violence although some would have more weight than others. It could lead to scenario where all sides could at least accept and respect the other positions and included them with their own solution.

Final Posit: What, if any, is the causal relationship between violence in sports and the multitude of societal factors that are named as causes of increased violence?
