Know what else is a fun statistic?

Domestic violence and spousal sexual assault both increase dramatically all across central Scotland on Old Firm clash weekends. Yeah I guess I am having a failure in comprehension by not understanding why "being passionate about a ball getting kicked about" prompts some men to beat up and/or sexually assault their wives and partners.

One of the most bizarre and pathetic excuses for loss of control I've ever encountered.

It's nothing new of course, entitled manbabies throwing their toys out of the pram over a lost game of footie is something I've seen my whole life. So I shouldn't be surprised that winning a tournament is, apparently, an excuse for losing control as well.

I'm going to bet that those men that are in that particular stat were probably already abusive before any Old Firm match.

I'm going to guess that some abusers try to use Football as a get out of jail card, similar to when parents used to blame GTA or Manhunt as to why their child just dismembered someone else's body, because unfortunately certain individuals can't just accept that they have issues.
