IWAS filled with disquiet by your report (LET, January 29) that the forthcoming World Cup is going to produce more and more domestic violence, according the police.

For heaven sake, where are we going?

Are there no limits to our degeneracy?

We already have a surplus of sex maniacs and religious maniacs. Now, it's football maniacs!

Bottle fights in back gardens? Punch-ups in our living rooms?

Is football becoming a curse rather than a sport?
