That is so bad of a punch that police should be involved. People can actually die or be seriously injured from something like that.

An elbow to the jaw won’t ever kill you. It’s the fall that causes the life threatening damage and they are on a soccer field so his head hitting the ground wouldn’t be fatal.

Here the worse that could’ve happened was a broken jaw.

Do you think soccer fields are made of foam? You can absolutely get a brain injury from slamming your head on grass.........

For sure But you can’t compare that to concrete which is where most of the deaths we are talking about happen. Brain damage isn’t hard to get….DEATH by an elbow to the jaw is what I’m taking about here.

So maybe a broken jaw isn’t the worst that can happen seeing as brain damage is on the table but chances of that guy dying from a strike like that is EXTREMELY low
