Comparing these types of assault to other facets of society are simply ludicrous. Religion in it's purest form is supposedly there to protect the weak, give guidance, and continually preaches against the evils of abuse, in any form. I never heard any preaching of this type while playing on football or hockey teams or any other facet of society.
Eph. 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Colossians 3:12,13 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
2 Peter 1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
Matthew 18:33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
Romans 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Romans 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
