Violence on campus and beyond.
Description
Host Dr. Terri Boggess, introduces Ms. Karyn Williams, Director of Recreational Sports at St. Mary's University, Mr. Robert Reid, formerly of a player for the Saint Mary's University Rattlers and the Houston Rockets, and currently playing for the Houston Astros, and Mr. Kevin O'Keefe, sports editor of the San Antonio Express-News. Discussion ensues in which consensus is reached that sports-related violence is a learned behavior. The media's repeated coverage of fights as 'highlights' and the organizational encouragement of steroid use, which leads to heightened aggression, both on and off the field, set the agenda that leads to domestic violence by intramural players and spectators frustrated by their inability to participate at a professional level, as well as by insecure professionals. Questions and comments are also received from the audience.
