I have played the fast-growing sport of pickleball, and while I did get nailed in the face, it was because I hit myself in the face with my own racquet.
But, no, pickleball is not a contact sport.
Which brings us to a video shared by a Twitter account called The Kitchen Pickleball, which explained that a man named Peter Shonk shared the clip “and wants everyone to know that he is ok.”
That’s because he was kicked in the face by his opponent after what seems like someone — might be Shonk? — yelling “[Expletive] yeah!” We don’t have any details beyond that, but the video is all kinds of shocking.
Check out the clip below (WARNING: as you might have guessed, it’s violent and has some NSFW language in it):
This video is absolutely insane.
It occurred after championship point from a tournament this weekend and the man that was assaulted, Peter Shonk, shared this video with us to post and wants everyone to know that he is ok.
