Background:Sport aggression is a common phenomenon visible among athletes on the field of play. At times, such behaviour is expected of an athlete. Peak performance is claimed to be a resultant product of approaching a player or a sport with a certain amount of aggression. The objective of the research paper is to determine if aggression attributed to participation in sport has its ramifications beyond the field of play for an athlete.Methods: The research was conducted using a self-administered survey of close-ended questions distributed among the general population.Results:The results of this research postulate that aggression is present in professional as well as recreational realms of play and is in fact acquired rather than innately possessed. The results depict a trend of aggressive outbursts within the field of play. However, such outbursts or effects of accumulated aggression are limited to the field of play and do not find themselves manifested beyond that. Conclusion:In summation, sports and aggression are inseparable and instances of violent outburst are visible among athletes beyond the pitch. However, the frequency of such occurrences is negligible when compared to the general population.
