In the first paragraph, the author notes that fans are partially responsible for players’ violent hits, writing, “the sports media and fans
alike bear some of the responsibility.” This is interpreted in the final paragraph when the author writes, “Sports media producers
have become accustomed to showcasing the most aggressive tackles” and “NFL broadcasts often replay especially violent
collisions, while the commentators marvel at the physical prowess of the players involved.” Using this information, we can infer that
the sports entertainment industry does these things to boost ratings, because fans are more likely to watch when violence is on
display. If broadcasters collectively decided to stop glorifying violent tackles and fans stopped choosing programming based on
them, the players would be less likely to hit each other with devastating force.
