Domestic violence during world cup

According to fugues published this week domestic violence against women increased by 38% during the world cup.  It seems that some men get so stressed up about the national sides game they take it out on their partner/wife/girlfriend.
A few things occur to me. The first is if this is true, and it's been known for some years then maybe a battered wife/GF etc might just have a claim against the tv company for encouraging violence, after all the tv companies have a duty to protect their viewers from harm caused by their programs.  The second thing is...   come on guys! it's a game, stop takign it so seriously.
