Well, there you go. Presumably on SuperBowl Sunday, the increased
domestic violence from the testosterone-crazed supporters of the
winning team is precisely balanced by the lower than usual level of
domestic violence of the testosterone-impaired losing fans. Hence the
lack of an observed rise in domestic violence overall.

Jeez, this science stuff is too easy.
