Tomorrow is the playing of the Super Bowl. Most people will have parties, watch the game, laugh and yell and enjoy the time. Some people will drink too much, bet more money than they can afford to lose and this year may be angry because the weather ruined their plans.
And they will take their anger out on their wives, children and sweethearts.
Causing Super Bowl Monday to be the most active day in the year for domestic violence shelters.
That is NOT a statistic to brag about. As you celebrate and have fun, please, remember those who will have to go to the shelters for comfort and safety. Pray for them and their abusers. ~ with blessings as you have a wonderful Super Bowl weekend!

The statistic you provide toward the end of the post is truly alarming. I have no idea why fans think it's acceptable to take their frustrations out on other people over the outcome of a game.
Steve (?) ~ I don't understand domestic violence at any time or for any reason. And ~ my daughter worked in this field and at shelters for a number of years and she is the one who alerted me to the statistic. I would like to hope it has lessened and I have seen no reports that it has. *sigh*
