Taylor and Jordan are participating in a full-contact sports match. During the game, Jordan intentionally strikes Taylor in the head, resulting in injury. Taylor decides to sue Jordan for battery. Which defense is Jordan most likely to successfully assert?
Jordan can assert consent as a defense because participation in a full-contact sport implies consent to certain levels of physical contact and potential injury. This mutual agreement negates the intentional tort of battery. Other defenses like necessity or self-defense are not applicable here as there was no immediate threat or greater harm to avoid, and property privilege does not relate to this scenario.
