I'm not talking about acting violently, except in a very rarefied sense. I'm talking about thinking about it, playing games or the like. It seemed like you were objecting not just to violent actions but also to violent thoughts.
If you spend your time playing games because of your anger you aren't even using it as a resource to get in the direction of moving in a productive direction. Playing games is often a form of escapism. You could spent elsewhere more efficiently.
On the other hand if you can't motivate yourself do to sport but find that if you go into your anger you can funnel that into playing American football, that might be a step in the right direction.
