It is very important to me that as a teacher I know my students' interests outside of the classroom.I was introduced to the sport of professional wrestling. The WWE, TNA corporations are exciting and entertaining, but are their risks involved with this entertainment? We have heard in the news about how wrestling affects the superstars themselves as well as the audiences that watch it.
From the website, www.pediatrics.org brought a very disturbing article to me. They did research on students who watch wrestling. The outcome proved that
"For males and females, the frequency of watching wrestling was highest among students who fought with their dates when alcohol or other drugs were involved. The association between watching wrestling and date fighting was stronger among females than males. The relationship between watching wrestling on television and being the perpetrator of dating violence was also stronger among females and remained consistent over a 6- to 7-month time period." (pediatrics.org)
I as a teacher will need to explain the rules of what is real and what is fantasy when they watch television.

What are your feelings and views on professional wrestling? Do you feel it affects children, adults?
