I have never, in my 9, almost 10 years of playing sports, usually 3 sports teams every year, and watching around 100-200 sports games, live, every year, seen anyone purposefully hurt, kicked, tripped, or anything.
People in the baseball league i play in are really nice, even though one of them spit at me and broke my arm on the same play O.o
A week ago i hit a high popup that they dropped on a hanging curveball i should have smashed into a car over the fence, and they said nice hit. And then i told that kid nice pitching even though he didnt pitch
