In soccer, a bigger problem lays with fans who get rowdy after the game.
I certainly have never heard of tennis criminals.

I wonder if the sort of sport makes a difference? If the sport involves putting your hands on another player, does that lead to more violence or not: Soccer, hockey and football all rely on, at some point, one player touching another player while Baseball, Tennis and field sports don’t really require touching the opponent.
Does that “touch” and “no touch” rule somehow influence off field behavior or not?
