With Super Bowl Sunday approaching, get ready for this "fact" to hit the Twitterscape/Facebookland/Vinefield and whanot: More women are victims of domestic violence on Super Bowl Sunday than on any other day of the year. Snopes dug into it, apparently this claim has been getting forwarded around since 1993, nobody has ever produced any stats to back it up, people who've cited the claim have since backpedaled, and actual experts on domestic violence say it's not even remotely true: http://www.snopes.com/crime/statistics/superbowl.asp Snopes wasn't definite on what is the top time for domestic violence, but the overall Christmas season looks to be a strong contender. So however much "football makes men violent and macho and drunk and thus they beat women" sounds like a really clever theory, it's not remotely based in fact. A friend who's got an MA and is a senior US official in DC cited this fact while we were at a bar last night, so I pulled up Snopes on my phone and emailed her the link to peruse later. To her credit, after she read it she forwarded it to everyone we'd been out with the previous night to correct herself, so kudos for being willing to admit fault.

Everyone's at parties having a good time and not many people care all that much what the outcome is. If there's domestic violence over football the guy is on the couch all day at home watching three and a half hour long games getting shitfaced And then Alabama loses

I don't need a billion-dollar entertainment complex to tell me when and how to beat my wife.

Just a heads up, this stat is actually true and the snopes article missed several data points. I did a couple hours of research on it last year and it is in fact the biggest day.
