Here's a typical "game" of escalation: Too males, sports fans, insults leading to injuries and charges being pressed. A quite game of dart leading to serious trouble. Way too typical male stupidity...
Story:
Oklahoma -- Words were reportedly exchanged at a bar in Oklahoma City between a 53-year-old University of Texas fan, and a University of Oklahoma Sooners fan - the latter, a church deacon and government auditor.
The exchange of words ended in a brawl leading to a torn scrotal sack with partially exposed testicles, according to a police report.
The OU fan said "something in a joking fashion to the guy about his Texas T-shirt," according to his attorney. "The guy got offended. My client said he was sorry," the attorney said.
The apology apparently wasn't enough for the Texas fan and the man then approached his client. The attorney said his client then grabbed the man in self-defense.
"The guy came over his other shoulder, and basically said, 'I'm getting ready to kick your you-know-what.' He said he felt threatened and he did what he thought he needed to do and grabbed him and left the place."

Role modelling
Absolutely great!
I do wonder where most kids learn negative and violent behavior. Could it *possibly* be at home?
Story:
A New Hampshire woman has been charged with assault for allegedly throwing pizza at an umpire at a Little League game in Concord last month.
Police say the 35-year-old woman was working in a concession stand. Her son is on the Concord All-Star team, which lost a close game on July 11. A league investigation said Concord parents and Little League volunteers taunted the umps and tried to provoke them.
Police say the woman tossed pizza that hit one ump and a parent. She's charged with two counts of simple assault. The league disciplined nine parents, board members and volunteers, asking some to resign from the board.

Not a contact sport
What do you mean "not a contact sport"?
Silly me, I thought all sport these days was just an excuse to let out steam, get into a fit and start a fight.
Story:
Disc golf is not a contact sport. Apparently no one told a 19-year-old Waukesha man who police reports say roughed up his disc golf partner, a 17-year-old Milwaukee boy, at Valley View Park in New Berlin May 8.
The two had been playing a round, the boy said, when his partner threw him into bushes, which scratched his arms and legs, then threw him to the ground again, choked him and rubbed his face in the dirt.
The 19-year-old told police he was joking around and that the boy had hit him with a soda bottle earlier.
