Do you agree with McMurtry about the connection between sports and violence? Do some research at

• nonprofit sites dedicated to the prevention of violence (Family Violence Prevention Fund; Partnerships against Violence Network, etc.);
• sites such as MediaWatch that discuss violence in the media;
• online resources that discuss sports and violence specifically (Violence in Sport is one);
• fan sites (such as the one available through the NFL.com).

Try to come up with evidence to support or dispute McMurtry's views on the issue.
