Let us see the causes of violence in sports.

Violence in sports could be due to the fans of the sports teams, the athletes, parents of the athletes and the last are the rituals.

Violence by fans: This sort of sports violence is generally seen when the fans get very disappointed by their team's performance. Fan violence could also be to threaten the opposing team. For example, if the sports team the fans love the most is going to be involved in a sporting event with a team the fans hate the most; the opposing team and its supports get ragged and harassed. Tempers start running high and some fans react adversely. This leads to violence. Sometimes, violence by fans is done in order to stop the sporting event because they know that their team will lose. This sort of sports violence sometimes could be very dangerous if the participating teams belong to different countries.
 

Violence by athletes and sportsmen: This sort of violence is most commonly seen in sports such as boxing where the athletes play furiously. The athletes hurt their opponents so as to own the victory. However, such the athletes will be subjected to punishment by referees. Sometimes, in contact sports like, football, ice hockey, basketball or soccer, when fans or other sportsmen jeer sportsmen of another team, the sportsmen can react violently. In this case, the team and the sportsmen are penalized by the governing sports body.

Violence by parents of the athletes and sportsmen: This sort of violence is started when the parents of the athletes are disappointed with the coaches, and opponents of the game.

Violence due to rituals: Certain high school and college sports teams practice rituals that are not very healthy. These rituals are more like initiation ceremonies, which can involve violence and humiliation against the members who are being initiated.  

As can be seen all the causes of violence in sports are very simple, and can be very easily overcome if everyone remains patient without getting stressed over a win or a loss. After all, it is just a game.
