An assault occurred during a basketball game between UCAM Murcia and Valencia Basket in the Liga Endesa. Romain Sato elbowed UCAM Murcia player Sadiel Rojas in the face while going for a basket, but the three referees did not see this aggression. Video cameras later recorded the violent action, though the player received no punishment as it went unnoticed by the referees. The author believes violence has no place in sports, as it is meant for fun and entertainment rather than causing harm, and these acts only disappoint fans and deter people from watching.

ABSTRACT:
An assault took place this past weekend in the Liga Endesa. In the duel between UCAM
Murcia and Valencia Basket (80-62), Romain Sato, he elbowed him in the nut of the
Bodyguard UCAM Sadiel Rojas, while he was going to the basket. None of the three referees
saw this aggression and remained unpunished, but that does not mean that the cameras will
record the action.
PERSONAL OPINION:
I think that is very horrible that there is violence in the sport, because it is assumed that
we play sports only for have fun and have entertainment but in the moment that we have
to use the violence the sport doesn’t be a sport, is an argument where people could become
damage
These acts of violence only produced that the people who want to see the sport be
disappointment and that they didn’t want to watch sports on the TV.
