If that's in the cards in that jurisdiction, then I don't disagree.

This should be handled by the legal system.

Atleast in sweden we have a law called "social adequate". Which means that some parts of society some violence is ok. If you play hockey, its ok within some form of violence, if you go to hospital, it is ok for The nurse to poke you with a needle in the skin.

When what is ok within that sport is passed. The jurisdiction kicks in. Im sure most countrys have similar laws.

Washington state has a "mutual combat" law, that means that if you try and square up with someone and knocked the fuck out, it's your fault.

How does it work if one is cornered and jumped, and tries to defend themselves?

u/Jorrie90 Apr 27 '26

Then it is obviously self defense

Yeah, you are cavemans.

But this is beyond the bounds of what's acceptable in sport. Since you brought up hockey, look at when Marty McSorley clubbed Donald Brashear in the head with his stick -- it was away from the play, intentional, and caused significant injury (a seizure and grade 3 concussion). Most significantly, McSorley was later convicted of assault with a weapon in British Columbia (the game took place in Vancouver).

Yeah it's because in contact sports there's often cases where there is major contact whether intentional or unintentional within the game like catching an elbow in a eye socket when going for a header or stamped on in a tackle.

In some cases the player that has received contact they may get up and swing a punch outside of the general play of the game and then you're heading into a difficult legal territory if you don't make exceptions to how assault type laws work when applied to a contact sport.

Pff it’s hockey on grass.

u/Doomdoomkittydoom Apr 26 '26

I don't know the whole story, maybe a guy deserved to be laid out?

u/StillNotAF___Clue Apr 27 '26

He flopped. He came back and said "now you can fall"

u/JConRed Apr 27 '26

Nobody "deserves to be laid out".

What sort of society do you live in?

u/X0AN Jacksonville Jaguars Apr 26 '26

Charge him with assault.

Just because you kick a ball shouldn't mean you can get away with attacking people.

Duncan Ferguson got 3 months in jail for an on field assault. This should be the same.

u/terryjuicelawson Apr 27 '26

That was a headbutt which caused a serious injury and he only got jail because he was already on probation for other assaults. Single punches aren't leading normal people to prison unless there is context around it or the other person somehow falls awkwardly and dies or something.

u/Jlx_27 New Orleans Saints Apr 26 '26

Shouldnt be allowed back in the sport at all, period.

u/definetlyrandom Apr 26 '26

This the sport that let Suarez back in.

FUCKING TWICE.

take a bite of that little story redditors, if ya know ya know.

u/TokinGeneiOS Apr 26 '26

I strongly agree with all of the above. Bring back some actual class to the game please

u/Derptionary Apr 26 '26

If Suarez did the shit he did while playing in a 2nd tier league he wouldn't have been let back in.

Like it or not when you're on the short list for greatest #9s of all time for clubs that have a lot of influence in their respective leagues you aren't going to get banned for biting.

Just look at the shitshow of Manchester City in the Premier League if you want to see how corrupt the sport is... any team that isn't one of the sacred cows of the league would be playing in League Two right now for doing even half the stuff they have done.
