In terms of the players or the fans? LOL |

It's ice hockey.
Presuming this is an American set of choices, I choose Hockey.

It's ice hockey. Presuming this is an American set of choices, I choose Hockey. As far as the sheer variety of ways a hockey player can intetionally seriously injure another player goes, hockey is certainly at or near the top of the list. Lately, I recall boarding has cause a lot of concussions which put players out of commision for a while.
I suppose the example I linked is very rare in that the players do not typically cause a melee after the game in which the cops are needed to restore order.
As far sports melees go, the worst one I can recall is this game:
American football also has a fan thug problem ... "occasionally" ...

Sorry, is this about peak violence, or average baseline?
Is stealing a foul ball off a ten year old at the baseball "thuggish"?

I would include fan violence where the incident only resulted in one or more injuries requiring hospitalization. Yes I am unscientific ... LOL

Hockey for sure, though football runs a close second for me. I'm addicted to the Cincinnati Bengals, but knowing I am rejoicing in a game that can cause life-changing injuries is a little cringeworthy. Since some of those injuries come from really dirty play on the part of the other players I suppose that makes it worse.
Used to be a huge baseball fan, and will still watch the Reds from time to time, I have to admit that it infuriates me when I see an adult stealing a foul ball from a kid. Shameful.
