This just popped into my head today and I was curious. Certainly tons of actions that are business as usual in sports would be considered assault in different contexts. What prevents players from suing eachother for injuries and stuff? Curious about both professional levels and recreational/amateur levels, if they’re different.
Also, is there a line where actions outside of the rules (cheap shots, etc.) could be considered assault or something else?

When you sign up for a sport, in the T&Cs it states that you can’t sue others players, the clubs or the league for damages sustained on the field. You basically sign over your right to not be assaulted while on the field.
