The man who got kicked in the face in a shocking moment of pickleball violence just wants to be done with it and has no plans on pressing charges.
Footage of the fiery on-court altercation at a tournament in Mexico has gone viral, surprising many given pickleball’s reputation as a friendly sport.
In what appeared to be a match point, the eventual kicker, who was wearing pink shorts, received a serve before approaching the net, where he illegally stepped over the non-volley line.
That mistake gave away a foot fault, and ultimately the match.

Looks to me like the sore loser dropped his paddle on purpose to get the guy to bend down and pick it up. Then the jackass kicked him.

Why is this news?
A player allows his emotions to to overcome his judgment in losing a game and hit the opposing player. The victim is letting it go. Happens all of the time.

I think it’s an indication of how degraded our culture has become. This kind of thing happens much more often than it used to.

If you watch the video you can see the other guy slap the paddle out of the guys hand.It looks like touching or slapping the paddle is the common after-game procedure. The way the kicker was holding his paddle seemed to be deliberately loose so as to ensure it fell to the ground when the kickee slapped it. Like I said, dropped it, pointed so as to get the kickee to bend down and then kicked him.
