They have an article debunking a claim that domestic violence rises during the superbowl. The article they used in order to debunk it was a site that was critical of the studies claiming to prove it.
Claiming there is an error in someone else's study is not de facto proof that the original claim is not true. All it does is point to a flaw in thestudy, meaning that the study used to support the claim was flawed. It does NOT then prove the claim is without merit.
On edit: I've found some of their work to be solid but much of it to be as above.
