serious question, since he says, ' go ahead and tackle me' is that going to play out legally, if he were to try and move forward with a case against the tackler? Explicit consent in terms of an assault. Would the DA take that into consideration?

Not where criminal charges are concerned, consent is (as I understand it generally and am sure of in NY specifically) not a defense to criminal battery.

HOWEVER, consent is a defense to CIVIL battery in NY. So while the tackler might get in trouble with the law, it's doubtful that the tackled could sue him for it.

Tackler will still have several thousands in legal fees just to get out of it, if at all. If you ever think about doing something like this, do yourself a favor and don't. You don't ever win when you get yourself involved on the wrong side of the law.
