I'd sure like to see that statute. Generally speaking an assault is the application of some sort of force to another person where no legal defense or justification to do so is present. Most assaults don't result in injury.
I've been assaulted quite a few times, never really injured. There are two assaults being mainly referenced in this video, the referee lashing out at the player and the other player who then attacks the referee from behind. Both I'd suspect or suggest are outside of or not really covered by the rules of the game and both would meet any legal definition of assault that I've ever seen.
Will do. See below. Again, like my post stated, this is going by New York laws.
coming from a lawyer, you have no idea what you are talking about
Oh god.. I feel bad for your clients, you should be EMBARRASSED.
