<title>Slog - Comments on Debunking the &quot;Day of Dread&quot;</title>
<link>http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/02/debunking_the_d</link>
<description>From Dan&apos;s post: Considering the supposed connection between the Super Bowl and domestic violence, which may or may not have been debunked (someone Google it and email me what you find), aren&apos;t commercials that make light of men doing grave bodily harm to women in poor taste? The backstory: In 1993, a coalition of women&apos;s groups held a press conference announcing that a study had uncovered a 40 percent upsurge in emergency-room admissions for domestic violence on Super Bowl Sunday. The media quickly seized on the &quot;Abuse Bowl&quot; claim. The Boston Globe, for example, reported that women&apos;s shelters and hotlines...</description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I wish I had something to direct your browser to in order to confirm this, but I distinctly remember researching this very legend over a decade ago and finding something that confirmed quite the opposite: a study in Israel found that domestic violence, and indeed ALL kinds of violent crime, were dramatically reduced during the closest thing they have to a Super Bowl (an Israeli European Cup soccer game). Seems all the abusers and other crims were glued to their sets, too busy to perpetrate evil.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>There is nobody at The Stranger more gullible than Dan Savage.  I hate to say it, 'cause I love the guy, but it's true.</p>

<p>Did you hear the one about Dan's buyer's remorse with the Iraq war, or after giving money to Greg Nickels' campaign, and then wanting it back?  </p>

<p>Same story.  Whether it's the mayor saying he supports the monorail or the neocons saying the war will spread democracy or some rumor mill saying there's lots of domestic violence on Superbowl Sunday, poor Dan will fall for it.</p>

<p>I believe in him though, and I think he's going to wise up real soon now.  Life is a learning process for each of us, and that's a good thing.</p>]]></description>
